John Shors
Dear Librarian, About two years ago, I launched a book club program through which I've chatted (via speakerphone) with 1,200 book clubs about my first novel, Beneath a Marble Sky. Due to the wonderful support of thousands of readers and librarians, Beneath a Marble Sky is a bestseller, and is available in seventeen languages—a dream come true for me. My new novel, BESIDE A BURNING SEA, is a classic love story, set in The South Pacific during World War II. Here's what Amy Tan said about my book: "From page one of BESIDE A BURNING SEA, you know you are in the hands of a master storyteller. This novel has the aura of the mythic, the magical, and that which is grounded in history. Shors weaves psychological intrigue by looking at his characters' competing desires: love, revenge, and meaning. Both lyrical and deeply imaginative, BESIDE A BURNING SEA confirms again that Shors is an immense talent." I've spoken at scores of libraries all over the country, and have done my best to bring readers into these important institutions. I hope you'll recommend BESIDE A BURNING SEA to your readers. Feel free to stop by my web site at www.besideaburningsea.com. Also, email me at shors@aol.com for a chance to win one of five signed copies of my new novel. My very best wishes to you. John Shors
