And the great reviews keep pouring in! Sims notes that "Bouman includes a brief bibliographical thank you to source books and specialists, but even without it, his nuanced research — on courtroom law, drug addiction, barn building — underlies the story like the strata that shape the hills of Wild Thyme." Make sure to grab a copy of Fateful Mornings, out next week!

Tom Bouman’s “Fateful Mornings” is an original, terrifying take on the serial-killer theme.

You might need a subscription to the WSJ to read the whole review, but we think these two quotes sum it up quite well:

“The history of loyalist William Franklin and his famous father has been told before but not as fully or as well as it is by Daniel Mark Epstein in “The Loyal Son.” Mr. Epstein, a biographer and poet, has done a lot of fresh research and invests his narrative with literary grace and judicious sympathy for both father and son.”

“William Franklin’s motto was “Pro Rege & Patria.” Mr. Epstein’s engrossing account of his ordeal in striving to be faithful to that motto illuminates the plight of the hundreds of thousands of British Americans who remained, during the Revolution, devoted to both crown and country.”

Even as Ben Franklin was helping to lead the Revolution, his son was opposing it, aiding the loyalist cause and ending up in prison.

"James Curtis captures the dueling sides of Sahl’s persona in “Last Man Standing,” his fair-minded new biography... Curtis’s interviews with the likes of Woody Allen, Dick Cavett and Sahl himself (he turned 90 this year) give the reader a clear sense of his nimble mind and his influence on younger talents." Make sure to check out the review of Last Man Standing!

Daniel Mark Epstein's latest book, "The Loyal Son" is set for release in June 2017 but is already receiving great accolades from authors Douglas Brinkley, Lynne Olson, and Richard Brookhiser.

"Daniel Mark Epstein’s The Loyal Son is a riveting narrative about the bizarre turmoil between Benjamin Franklin and his son William. The amount of new research undertaken is deeply impressive. And the writing is elegant and always informative. Highly recommended!" - Douglas Brinkley; "Rightful Heritage: Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Land of America"

"This poignant, absorbing portrait of Benjamin Franklin and his only son, William, is a powerful reminder that America’s fight for independence was also an agonizing civil war, in this case pitting a father against his beloved son." - Lynne Olson; "Citizens of London"

"Daniel Mark Epstein has written a textured, sympathetic account of a fallen founder, William Franklin: patriot, public servant, son, and partner of Benjamin. Epstein shows, from the inside, his ambitions, yearnings, decisions good and bad, and final, crushing failure." - Richard Brookhiser; "Founders’ Son: A Life of Abraham Lincoln"
