COLTON GENTRY’S THIRD ACT is out today.

I hope you enjoy this story of high highs and low lows; of small towns and big dreams; of sultry Southern nights and fireflies; of country music and cast iron cookware; of life’s second chances and third acts. I hope you cry a little and fall in love a little more and most of all, get really hungry.

Hey all, it was brought to my attention that I gave a 1-star rating to THE LYING CLUB by Annie Ward. I have no clue how this happened but it was certainly unintentional. Please disregard it (I’ve removed the rating). I have not read THE LYING CLUB and even if I had, I would never give it a 1-star on Goodreads.
