Noticed you liked The Glass Castle, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a dysfunctional family and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to learn a little more about the book before you commit:

I loved "Painter of Battles." I loved the pace of the narrative as well as the story. It is a bit sad, war is a horrible event wherever and whenever it happens. But I was left with a really fundamental question at the end. I won't tell you what it is because I wouldn't want to spoil it for you. Have you read the Captain Alatriste stories?

Hello!
I see that we have both read "Painter of Battles." I really liked it, did you? I've been looking for someone to talk to about this book. Would you be interested in a conversation?
