D...re: book review request by award-winning author<br /><br />Dear Shelley,<br /><br />I'm an award-winning author with a new YA book out this fall. Ugly To Start With is a series of thirteen interrelated stories about childhood being published by West Virginia University Press.<br /><br />Can I interest you in reviewing it? <br /><br />If you write me back at johnmcummings@aol.com, I can email you a PDF of my book. If you require a bound copy, please ask, and I will forward your reply to my publisher. Or you can write directly to Abby Freeland at: <br /><br />Abby.Freeland@mail.wvu.edu <br /><br />My publisher, I should add, can also offer your readers a free excerpt of my book through a link from your blog to my publisher's website:<br />http://wvupressonline.com/cummings_ugly_to_start_with_9781935978084<br /><br />Here’s what Jacob Appel, celebrated author of <br />Dyads and The Vermin Episode, says about my new collection: "In Ugly to Start With, set in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia, Cummings tackles the challenges of boyhood adventure and family conflict in a taut, crystalline style that captures the triumphs and tribulations of small-town life. He has a gift for transcending the particular experiences to his characters to capture the universal truths of human affection and suffering--emotional truths that the members of his audience will recognize from their own experiences of childhood and adolescence.”<br /><br />My short stories have appeared in more than seventy-five literary journals, including North American Review, The Kenyon Review, Alaska Quarterly Review, and The Chattahoochee Review. Twice I have been nominated for The Pushcart Prize. My short story "The Scratchboard Project" received an honorable mention in The Best American Short Stories 2007.<br /><br />I am also the author of the nationally acclaimed coming-of-age novel The Night I Freed John Brown (Philomel Books, Penguin Group, 2009), winner of The Paterson Prize for Books for Young Readers (Grades 7-12) and one of ten books recommended by USA TODAY.<br /><br />For more information about me, please visit:<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Michael_Cummings<br /><br />Thank you very much, and I look forward to hearing back from you.<br /><br />Kindly,<br /><br />John Michael CummingsJohn Michael Cummingshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Michael_Cummingsnoreply@blogger.com
