I wanted to thank author Denise Gallin for the copy of the book Kiss The Sky published by Telemachus Press. I haven’t had a chance to read it yet, but I just wanted to let everyone know that it is being given away this week at Amazon.com for FREE. This is a limited time offer, so go download it.
Please click on ‘Comments’ and let me know what you think of the book. I can’t wait to read it!
Here’s a brief synopsis:
London in the heady 90’s is waking up to the tribal pulse of repetitive beats, but the police violently attempt to clamp down on the freedom and unity emanating from the speaker stacks. Following the artist’s path in these tumultuous times, Claudia and her friends move into a freezing cold warehouse in the East End while surviving on canned sardines and apples. How can they escape the matrix and remain true to their quest?
I downloaded this on Monday expecting a fun read, but oh my god, this book is actually FANTASTIC! All of the great reviews on Amazon were not lying…this is without a doubt one of the most powerful and inspiring books I’ve ever read. I’m blown away by how quickly I finished it (and I barely ever read books) and I have been recommending it to everyone I know. Gallin is definitely a new author to watch out for and I cannot wait for her next book.

Wow! I’m really looking forward to reading this book.
Maybe me and you should form a ‘Book Club’? Like Oprah! But only read ‘hip’ books!
Thanks for the comment.

Hi Catherine, you have no idea how much your kind words mean to me and how many times I’ve read them, lol. I even shared them on Facebook. I’m writing the next one and of course one sometimes wonders if it’s not all a huge waste time (as it’s so hard as a self published author to be found amongst 5million books on Amazon) and it’s so, so rewarding to hear that you seem to think it’s not 🙂 Thanks again!

Just got done reading it! Wow…what a great book. It was hard to put down!
I loved all the characters (except Billy…he’s a jerk.) And I wish I could have been in England during that time. Seems like a blast!
I’m really looking forward to the next book.
Kiss The Sky is highly recommended and ‘Hipster Approved’!
