In Another Sun Praise – Alex Higley
Auten’s writing is lyrical, propulsive, and alive. In Another Sun is peopled with characters that will be familiar, but this is not a story you’ve read before. I was reminded of C.E. Morgan, and that is high praise. Read this book. Alex Higley, author of Old Open Tortoise Books Amazon
