Seven Samurai Swept Away in a River

* Author is well connected in the Texas and US arts community, having completed a writer’s residency at 100W Corsicana hosted by author David Searcy (who is also a character in this book).

* This is the author’s 3rd book in English, the last Deep Vellum published was very well received critically

* The author has spent extensive time touring the US for book events, and will do so again with this book

* Texas setting has great appeal to readers, maybe more so than a book in translation set in a foreign country they don’t know
