Trust Issues received a blurb from Maurice Carlos Ruffin! This will go right on the back cover of the book:
Kim Davis is a master of moments. In Trust Issues, she brings her keen eye to the lives of ordinary people not often seen in literary fiction. With great skill, Davis shows how even the most mundane moments are fraught with meaning.
– Maurice Carlos Ruffin, author of The American Daughters
I almost forgot to share this fantastic blurb that I received for Trust Issues. During most of the month of March, I was traveling with a car full of books. I went from home base in North Texas, across New Mexico, Arizona, and California, all the way to Los Angeles. It has been such a busy time!
I listed only one of Maurice’s books in the attribution for the blurb, but I have been following this talented New Orleans author since his first book, We Cast a Shadow. I have also been honored as a publisher to have him judge one anthology, and allow us to include his work in another.
As I mentioned with my previous blurb post, this is something authors do for each other. And it happens through a process of getting to know other authors. Conferences like AWP and Southern Festival of Books and many, many others are currently under attack because they have lost funding they’d been counting on. Therefore, we must work ever harder to support each other.
A great place to get to know Maurice is through his podcast Sitting in Silence which has a free version.
