Joni Rodgers recommends My Memories of a Future Life by Roz Morris
This month is all about independence, so we’re inviting the Extraordinaires to share their favorite indie picks. We're also sponsoring the First 50 Words contest for indie writers to win a free multi-platform promo push from the League throughout the month of August!
Joni Rodgers recommends My Memories of a Future Life by Roz Morris: I'm always on the lookout for fiction that takes creative risks, draws me in with a compelling voice and shows a real mastery of the craft of writing. This book does all that and more. My Memories of a Future Life delivers on a genius premise with grace and skill. A thoroughly entertaining, thought-provoking, wonderfully moving verismo of a novel.
Joni Rodgers is the founder of Stella Link Books and the League of Extraordinary Authors. Her latest novel, The Hurricane Lover, was inspired by her experiences as a volunteer with relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Visit Joni online at www.jonirodgers.com.
