Mattaponi Queen has been named to a couple of very nice end-of-year lists:
Largehearted Boy chose Mattaponi Queen as a favorite short story collection of the year. (Click here to read my Largehearted Boy playlist.)
And just today Kirkus Reviews named Mattaponi Queen one of the top debuts of 2010.
If you’re looking for holiday gifts for the readers in your life, Graywolf Press has a buy-two-get-one-free discount until Thursday, December 16. Click here for the discount code. (I have honestly never been disappointed by a Graywolf title.) I’ll try to post a guide to some of my favorite books of 2010 this weekend. Stay warm!


Congratulations on those end-of-year lists! Will check out the Graywolf discounts, oh no, I sense more books arriving in the mail…
