About Red Mountain: A Novel
Product Description "Best book I've read in over 50 years... since A Tree Grows in Brooklyn." - LibraMystic *A Pulpwood Queens Book Club Selection and Amazon Charts Bestseller How well do we really know each other? Red Mountain in eastern Washington is home to a community of eccentrics. Otis Till, the area's visionary winemaker, has been known to howl at the moon--fully nude. Single mother Margot Pierce moved across the country to build an inn, but so far all she does is binge on gelato, the Hallmark Channel, and fantasies of murdering her ex. High school senior Emilia Forester is the daughter of celebrity parents struggling to build her own life outside of their shadow. And Brooks Baker is a man haunted by his past spent living on the streets as an orphan. Somehow, everyone lives together harmoniously, their lives intertwined like the vines in Red Mountain's beautiful and renowned vineyards. But in a place where everyone knows each other, secrets are like poison...and right now Otis, Margot, Emilia, and Brooks all have something to hide. When their secrets come to light and dysfunction ignites, will their small mountain be stronger for it--or will lives be torn apart? Heartfelt, briskly paced, and wonderfully descriptive, Red Mountain is the story of four complicated people living in a beautiful landscape unlike anywhere else. Told from multiple perspectives and rich with vivid descriptions of wine life, this novel will transport you from the first page to the last.

Here's what I love about that, particularly when it comes to the narrative and the dialogue of his latest book, Red Mountain: it's sexy and unexpected, and the endings (for there are several) are thank goodness far from saccharine sweet." - Forbes "Captivating, wonderful read, can't wait for the next one! The complexity of the characters keep you fully engaged, a true page-turner." - NJ Simonton "Read it. You will be forever changed." - S. Meyers "If only Pat Conroy was alive, he'd be singing your praises! It's like some of the characters from Beach Music or South of Broad had some friends that picked up and moved west to the wine country of Red Mountain! One finds oneself laughing and crying with these characters while at the same time wanting to smack or hug them!! It's absolutely one of the best books I've ever read!" - K. Timmons "Rarely am I so engrossed by a novel that the world stops for a couple of days. This was one of those books. The characters were real and relatable, and the writing so polished that at times I forgot I was reading at all and felt I was there beside my new friends." - W. Wanner From the Author A note to anyone struggling right now... (A different kind of 9/11 story.) Like so many of you, my whole world changed the day the towers fell. Not in the way you might think though. I used to play the banjo professionally, but a career-ending hand disorder called focal dystonia sent me scrambling to pick up the pieces. It all started on 9/11/2001. My struggle pales in comparison to those who lost loved ones, and 9/11 is certainly about them and the people who died and those brave souls who stepped up to assist in so many beautiful ways. But I posted the below note in a Facebook group of musicians who suffer from FD and thought that I might share with you too. We are all facing our own focal dystonias, especially right now. Here goes... 9/11/2001 was the day I first experienced focal dystonia symptoms. I had just moved to Nashville with a band of great friends, and we were heading into the studio to record our first big album. I drank my coffee, warmed up on the banjo, then turned on the news. The first tower had been hit. Banjo in hand, I watched in utter disbelief. We considered canceling our studio session, but our producer urged us
