New Podcast Interview

I was recently a guest on the Trevor Roberts Talkfest podcast. We discussed Franco-American history and culture and my second novel The River Is Everywhere. It’s especially exciting because the podcast is based on the West Coast, where few people know anything about Franco-Americans or French Canadians. Trevor was a great host and I enjoyed talking with him.

Episode 40 – Rivers, Roots, and Revelation: Emilie-Noelle Provost’s Franco-American Coming-of-Age Tale is available now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Buzzsprout, Podchaser and anywhere else you can listen to podcasts. A video version of my conversation with Trevor will be out soon.

Book Award Finalist

I’m excited to announce that The River Is Everywhere has been named a finalist for the 2023 National Indie Excellence Award in literary fiction. The National Indie Excellence Awards are the gold standard for books published by independent publishers in the U.S. I’m very happy, and I’m even prouder of this book than I already was.

The River Is Everywhere is available from all major booksellers including Amazon and Barnes and Noble as well as from several indie stores including the Lowell Book Company. If you’ve read the book and liked it, please consider leaving a review on Goodreads or Amazon, or drop me a note via this website’s contact page.
