New Book Announcement: A Few Juicy Details

6/23/2017

Though I've already spilled the beans on Facebook, I wanted to formally post here that the ink on the contract for my next book is dry. Here are some particulars you can use to keep yourself in the know:
  • The title is What We Build Upon the Ruins.
  • It's a collection of 11 short stories.
  • Most of the stories stand on their own, but three of them are about the same family who is building a handmade birch bark canoe.
  • The release date is expected to be in November 2017.

Here's what a couple early readers had to say:
"To touch the heart without even a hint of sentimentality is a tough trick for any fiction writer, and most of us never quite get it right. Giano Cromley not only pulls off this trick, he establishes touching the heart as his own particular genius that distinguishes him from other writers of talent and serious purpose. He makes you feel the depths of your own humanity. These stories are not only great reads, they are an enduring contribution to our literature."
​          Ernest Hebert -- 
author of The Dogs of March, The Old American, and ten other novels

"Giano Cromley’s powerful stories feature blue collar characters who make mistakes, race blindly toward disaster, and frequently plunge over the rim into darkness. These are the folks Tom Waits and Lucinda Williams capture in their songs.  Survival in the aftermath is the key. "
          Richard Peabody -- editor, Gargoyle Magazine

So that's it for now, I will be using this page to provide future updates regarding the official release date, cover info, more early reviews, reading venues and dates, and any other worthwhile announcements, so stay tuned!
