| Novel That Was Turned Down by New York Wins Three 2011 "Best" Awards
Love At Absolute Zero has won three 2011 Best Fiction awards. With space limited here, if you want to see HOW and WHY my New York agent couldn't get it published despite editors excited by it, click here for the story.
Now Love At Absolute Zero has validation of sorts. The book claimed one of three Best Indie Romance Awards at Red Adept Reviews. Each reviewer at the site selected his or her favorite from among the many books reviewed during the year. Jim Chambers, who had reviewed the book at the site, wrote, “I was skeptical of the idea of incorporating a complex subject like quantum physics into a love story that would be both readable and enjoyable, but the author hit a home run. It’s a very good story, very well told.” (Click here for Red Adept site.) Second, Sam Sattler at the website Book Chase placed Love At Absolute Zero in his list of Top Ten Best Fiction 2011, which also includes books by Philip Roth, Russell Banks, and Chad Harbach. Sattler says, “It is impossible not to like Gunnar Gunderson. As he progresses from one disaster or near miss to the next, one views him with a mixture of compassion and laughter. Love at Absolute Zero is likely to appeal to a variety of readers.” (Click here for full list.) Third, Love At Absolute Zero won a Noble Award (not Nobel) in MyShelf.com's ninth annual end-of-the-year awards, created by Carolyn Howard-Johnson in her “Back to Literature” column. In listing the award, Howard-Johnson says of protagonist Gunnar and his exploits, “The tension between science and emotion has never been more keenly felt.” (Click here for full list.)

Iron City by David Scott Milton - Just published!
Frank Kalinyak, disgraced ex-cop, returns to Pittsburgh, Pa., “Iron City”, his hometown, from Tucson where he has been living a desperate existence since the death of his young daughter. He has been summoned home by Bobby Mack, an Assistant D.A., to find out who murdered an old high school friend. Kalinyak is swept into a whirlpool of bizarre killings, religious fanaticism, church duplicity, hustlers, cops, junkies, old friends gone bad. Amid the fractured landscape of Iron City, rusting mills, rotting industry, he struggles to find sense in his life. Ultimately he must ask: who is he and can he survive?
Author Gina Nahai (Caspian Rain) says, "David Scott Milton is that rare contemporary American writer whose body of work represents an honest and authentic study of the mysteries of the human heart. In Iron City he creates a fast-moving and original plot, and a lead character whose pain and passion haunt the reader long after the story's end." Praise for Milton's Earlier Books “David Scott Milton can write like an angel… a writer hell bent on fulfilling the legacy of John Steinbeck, carrying on the tradition of James Jones and exploring his own heights.” -- Alabama Journal “It was my misfortune to have missed The Quarterback, and thus be unaware of this fine, unflinching writer. He does not prettify, embroider, ornament of otherwise offend against the utter dignity of his hard, enduring characters; out of their meanness, and misery, he has made a story which I envy, in prose as clean and businesslike as a switchblade. Make sure everybody hears about this book; it’s not about a gambler and a broad and a fighter at all—it’s about the human condition, and it’s beautiful.” -- George V. Higgins, author of The Friends of Eddie Coyle LAUNCH PARTY AT SKYLIGHT BOOKS NOVEMBER 4 Here are photos of David Scott Milton at Skylight recently--a magical evening. Signed copies of Iron City are available at Skylight Books.
Boyfriend From Hell by E. Van Lowe--Now Available!
Fifteen year-old Megan Barnett and her single mom, Suze, have a special relationship—they are friends, close friends, who do almost everything together.
“But come on, guys, she’s my mother… Can I really tell her that while we’re snuggled up on the sofa watching Spider Man Three, I’m secretly undressing James Franco with my eyes? Of course not…” The special bond takes a turn for the worse when Suze decides to start dating again. She hasn’t had a man in her life since Megan’s father left ten years ago. Enter two mysterious young men, Megan’s new classmate, sinfully attractive bad boy, Guy Matson, and the dangerously handsome art dealer, Armando. Before long Megan and Suze both wind up in steamy relationships. But neither of the handsome pair is quite what he seems. In fact, one of them is Satan, with his sights set on a new bride. Megan has precious little time to figure out how to stop him. If she doesn’t, either Megan or Suze are quite literally going to HELL. Boyfriend From Hell is the first book in the Falling Angels Saga from the author of the gruesomely hilarious, Never Slow Dance With A Zombie. "E. Van Lowe puts a fantastic new spin on the young adult paranormal romance, and I for one fell for it hook, line, and sinker." -Shari Bergquist, My Neurotic Book Affair "A thrilling suspense/mystery/fantasy book mixed with reality and some romance scenes that will get you hooked up till the end." -Lalaine Faye, Lalaine's Fiction Book Reviews "E.

Love At Absolute Zero by Christopher Meeks--Now Available!
Love At Absolute Zero is about a physicist who tries to apply the tools of science to finding a soul mate. Specifically, Gunnar Gunderson, a 32-year-old physicist at the University of Wisconsin, gets a promotion, and all he can think of now is finding a wife, causing his research to falter. To meet Ms. Right within three days--that's what he wants and all time he can carve out--he and his team are using the scientific method, to riotous results.
"Thermodynamics are nothing; it's that love thing that is so frustratingly hard to figure out. Love at Absolute Zero is an excellent read that is very much worth considering, highly recommended!" - Midwest Book Review "It is a given, now, that Christopher Meeks is a master craftsman as a writer.... [The novel] is a gift--and one of the many that continue to emerge from the pen and mind and brilliant trait for finding the humor in life that makes him so genuinely fine a writer." -Grady Harp, Amazon Top-Ten Reviewer "As engaging as it is amusing, Love at Absolute Zero is, ultimately, a heartfelt study of the tension between the head and heart, science and emotion, calculation and chance." -Marc Schuster, Small Press Reviews "It is impossible not to like Gunnar Gunderson. As he progresses from one disaster or near miss to the next, one views him with a mixture of compassion and laughter, but he is such a good-hearted young man that it is impossible not to root for him." -Sam Sattler, Book Chase "A deeply resonant read that manages to be funny without sacrificing its gravity. Highly recommended!" -Heather Figearo, Raging Bibliomania You can buy the book at Amazon by clicking here, and at Barnes and Noble by clicking here. |
