Now, I need your help!!! Help! Reviews are very easy and quick to do, and they make a huge difference in the exposure of the book. Before I got some reviews, when I searched for “The Frenchman” on Barnes and Noble and Amazon, I had to search for it among many other books that included the words, “The Frenchman.” Now it comes up first. I don’t know exactly what that means, but it’s good news! Please, please go in (after you have read the book) and give me a review. If you hated the book, please email me and tell me you hated it and why, or call me – but skip the review, OK? 🙂 Certainly, if you have issues with anything I have written (continuity, details), please let me know. I can make changes, after all, and as Tom Clancy said, “Fiction has to make sense.”
Thank you for supporting the arts that we all desperately need. Our world is becoming increasingly insane, and a good story takes us away from all of that.

Quick look:
Robbery, escape, rendezvous, pursuit and romance all season “The Frenchman ” as Jean LaChance, running from his criminal past, finds solace in the isolation of the bleak California desert. There, in search of the money he and his unscrupulous partner have stolen, LaChance instead finds Lilly Parsons and her children. Over four days they forge a sense of belonging for the first time in their lives, loneliness and despair begin to melt away. This bond of trust is seemingly broken when Lilly flees with the children, unaware that the money is in the trunk of her car. Now LaChance is in determined pursuit of the woman and children he has grown to love, but he is unconvinced of their motive for leaving, taking the money and sending the cops. What will he do when he finds them?
Early praise for The Frenchman:
From the beginning of this fantastic novel through to the end, it holds you on the edge of your seat, not letting go…. for anything.
This review is probably going to be very short, for the simple fact that this book is so good there isn’t really much point at all trying to review it.
The characters… are perfect. We love and hate the main character at the same time – almost reminiscent of the film The Prestige, in which our opinion of the characters are always changing. The language used in the story is lush and ingenious, and that is what held me in its grip. – Josiah Morgan, The Review Hutch
