Loyola Article

Look, there’s Gravedigger!  “Freshman publishes novel, overcomes editorial obstacles”. I made the front page!

Here’s an article that was in Loyola University Chicago’s student-run newspaper “The Phoenix”. Loyola is where I attend college. They wrote a really nice piece, and also have a book review (separate from the article) on The Phoenix’s website:

School interview

Last week I was interviewed and it was basically about how the school helped me with my writing. I mean, I wasn’t really sure what to say,because it’s not like I took a bunch of advanced or AP classes to help me write better, I took the same classes even the illiterate kids HAD to take, and just happened to be better at writing. I really attribute my writing talent as a hereditary trait inherited from my dad, even thought he hasn’t written anything in a long time and has never been published. I think he is a really good writer though and have been encouraging him, he hasn’t listened or done anything with his writing yet. Thanks for reading!

Q & A article with the author!

Grand Haven Tribune Article

Today I am in the local newspaper! It is always exciting to expand the knowledge of my book to others. Here’s the picture they took of me. This week I will be bringing books to the local book stores so that people won’t have to buy them exclusively online. For those who don’t know, it’s available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, $20 paperback and $30 hardcover, $4 for Kindle edition. In a month or so I will probably organize a book signing, once enough people are interested. This is all very exciting! -MY
