Praise for Combat to College
“A slim and motivating volume for veterans about to head off for school”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Every single veteran I know struggles adjusting to college life. Here is the solution.”

“John H. Davis gives some really great advice on what to do and what not to do when you are a veteran trying to go back to school amongst civilians….Davis teaches that constantly evaluating oneself, pushing to the limits, and reaching outside of your comfort zone is where success lies.” 5 Stars

The Hammerhead Chronicles
By Scott Gould
November 15, 2022
For fans of Southern literary fiction with a twist of dark humor. The latest novel from critically acclaimed Southern storyteller Scott Gould, The Hammerhead Chronicles explores the effects of grief, racism, homophobia, revenge, love, and loss on an oddball cast of contemporary characters in a small, fictitious South Carolina town . . . oh, and it’s funny.
Praise for The Hammerhead Chronicles
”This book reads so fast and so funny that you don’t mind when it grabs you first by the lapels and then by something inside your chest.”
—Elise Blackwell, author of Hunger and The Lower Quarter
“The storytelling here sizzles with wit and wild play, with plot that terrifyingly and thrillingly jumps the tracks, and with perfect storms of reliable and unreliable revelations.”
—Kevin McIlvoy, author of One Kind Favor
“Beautifully crafted, told in a chorus of original voices, The Hammerhead Chronicles evokes its characters in such a way as to render them somehow nextdoor familiar but also as mysterious and complicated as life itself. . . . I read these pages with serious admiration.”
—Michael Knight, author of Eveningland and At Briarwood School for Girls
Preorders will be available soon through your local bookstore, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other retailers.
