I’m very happy to report that Young Donald has steadily made its way up many Goodreads Lists, and is now:
#1 in "Books Set in High School"
#1 in "Fiction Set in 1960s"
#2 in "Boarding School Stories" (damn you, Harry Potter!)
#2 in "Trump Tell-alls" (even though it’s not a tell-all, I’ll take it!)
#3 in "New Authors to Read" (out of more than 4,000!)

Thanks to all who voted for the book, and, if you haven’t had a chance to rate or review Young Donald yet on Goodreads, I would be thrilled if you did! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54772271-young-donald
Young Donald is coming out on October 6!
If you like the book when you get it, you can:
(1) put a glowingly positive review on Amazon;
https://www.amazon.com/Young-Donald-Michael-Bennett/dp/1950301133
(2) recommend it to friends (especially friends in large Zoom book clubs);
(3) talk favorably about the book in an inappropriately loud voice if you find yourself near my target audience (e.g., anyone wearing an Oberlin sweatshirt, carrying a PBS tote-bag or wearing a mask in a red state).
And, if you don’t like the book, remember what your mother told you do when you have nothing nice to say about something.
If you ordered a physical book and have moved since then, please change your address on Inkshares!
