Sorry for the low output on the blog in recent months, but I just haven't had anything to say.
The Ice Mine, my recently-published novella, has gotten a review. 5 stars, no less. Then again, it was written by my mother. Not really. Check it out, and then buy the book. Keep independent publishing alive. Forgive the shameless self-promotion, but I wrote a book damnit...and I want it to be read!
This
first-person narrative really feels like back in the Heart of Darkness,
only this time the voyage is through a futuristic terrain, and the
narrator is coming off a drug addiction. The story flowed easily, with
bouts of philosophical musings that were poignant and that had me
laughing at times. I would have enjoyed an even longer book, as the only
criticism I can think is that the novella size does it injustice. Well
worth the read. Kudos to Adkins on his first novel...definitely want to
read more of his books.
