Safe in Heaven Dead- Fiction


This amazing debut novel from EWU professor Samuel Ligon is told in reverse and even though you know the end right away you can't wait to figure out how the main character gets there. In fact, the story telling is so precise, you will forget Robert Elgin's fate once the story wraps itself back around. Sam is an amazing writer and just recently won the Autumn House Fiction prize which enabled him to have his newest collection of short stories Drift and Swerve published. I highly recommend both his books as they each have something different to offer. We can only hope Mr. Ligon will receive the kind of attention an author of his caliber deserves. Discover him now before every one else does!
