June Hutton takes 'Underground' by storm
See Mom? I can too write good headlines.
But on to June: she and her novel Underground are absolutely everywhere!
Here's a review at The Historical Novel Review, which calls Underground "a compelling tale of one man’s journey of self-discovery through pain, love, war, and hardship. And for a debut novel, it’s incredibly engrossing." You can read the entire review here.
And here are a pair of interviews with June at Eric Forbe's Book Addict's Guide to Good Books and Evadne Macedo on Writing.
