January Moon
on Oct. 10, 2010
In January Moon, Maureen Gill swaggers through her debut novel with the impressive power, precision and dead-on aim of the last gun standing after the smoke clears. Her characters are finely drawn coordinates in a lethal landscape, tripping the dark fantastic through a plot with more twists than a dry martini. This powerful cocktail is served straight up, an incendiary shot of fire, darkness, and all that lurks in the shadows of man. Literati, take note: There's a new gun in town and she's taking no prisoners. With each page of January Moon, Gill secures her rightful position as an ascendant star.
