Get Five Oaks at Your Favorite Indie Bookstore.

One of my favorite things to do is stroll the aisles of a bookstore just to see what catches my eye. It’s even better if that bookstore is owned by a true book lover, maybe features some comfortable seating, or at least has a store cat.

In my neck of the woods (Kentucky), you can’t go wrong with Read Spotted Newt in Hazard and The Taleless Dog in Berea. There are several more I could name, but better still, it’s easy to find your local indie bookstore [ and my new novel 🙂 ] with a simple search online.

My go-to for a search is IndieBound where you can find a great store and buy local online or strolling the aisles (which is, of course, the best way to meet cool cats).

Five Oaks Ready for Pre-Order

rdean2014

You can start building your summer reading list right now by pre-ordering my debut novel, Five Oaks.

In the Arkansas mountains, three generations of fiercely determined young women are poised for self-discovery in a decades-spanning novel about the bonds of family and secrets.

Spending summer away from home for the first time, fifteen-year-old Wren Stone and her younger sister, Sylvie, arrive at Five Oaks, their grandparents’ Arkansas lake house. As it was for their grandmother and mother before them, it’s a place for coming of age, first love, triumphs and failures, and keeping secrets.

Free release day delivery on May 27 via Amazon–just in time for the beach, the lake, or wherever you like to cozy up with a good book.
