When Booklife by Publishers Weekly reviewed Autumn in Wolf Valley, they compared it to two acclaimed novels: Jeffrey Eugenides’s The Marriage Plot and Kazuo Ishiguro’s Booker Prize Winner The Remains of the Day.

Talk about humbling… (and dare I say undeserving).

Self-promotion has long been my weakness as an author. And yet, here I am comparing my new indie novel to some of the greatest fiction of the last couple decades. Where an algorithm doesn’t exist, we must create our own!

So, here is a list of books along with their attributes that you will find in Autumn in Wolf Valley.
