ROADS, A Novel, by Daren Dean Forthcoming from CJPress 2023

"From the opening page, Daren Dean propels the reader into his story and never taps the brakes as his characters move toward an inevitable reckoning. Dannie Gail Posey is the novel’s young heroine, and we cheer her on as she navigates a violent world that seeks to entrap her even as she dreams of escaping it. Roads confirms Daren Dean as an important new voice in rural noir."--Ron Rash, Author of Serena, In The Valley, The World Made Straight
