Water For Elephants

One of the nicest writers I've met online is Sara Gruen, who stood up for me on writersnet back in the days before she published her first book Riding Lessons. The default setting there is to pile on whoever is in the headlights. This was a time when I was battling shills from Publishamerica. Little has changed in forum ecology.

I recall she told me she'd published her "Circus book" with Algonquin, a small North Carolna publisher where I'd sent one of my books. Never underestimate the power of a good small press. This is some Circus book indeed.
