True facts: A local teacher once bemoaned that his students were reading my novels over more serious works. One of my books was reportedly sold out in Switzerland because it was assigned in a course at the University of Lucerne. And I’ve had lunch meetings with professors who lecture on my work.
These are just a few of the academic or critical books that reference my fiction—there are others floating around out there.
