Remarkably well-preserved book of World's Fair photographs.

I've just finished a novel and I'm looking for a handful of early readers.

Half Moon Over Clark Street is a darkly funny coming-of-age story set in a 1960s suburb outside of St. Louis. It follows a kid trying to understand his family and himself while dealing with a world where adults don't seem to have things figured out either. First loves, first friendships and a journey through the encyclopedia of Bad Choices until he finds a way to untie his emotional knots.

It's not a thriller or a fast plot. It's more about the moments that shape young lives before kids realize that those moments will someday matter.

I'm happy to send an EPUB or PDF and if you end up liking it, an honest review would be most appreciated.

TRIGGERS: Household violence while growing up. Drug use as a teen. Alcohol use as a teen. A scene of fighting that results in serious injury.

I plan to send ARCs to readers by May 1. I would appreciate hearing back from readers by June 1.
