Looking a perfect nostalgic summer read? Check out THAT OCTOBER!
THAT OCTOBER, which has ranked high as #70 in a niche category on Amazon, continues to show pretty well there. It's got a #1 release flag again, the fifth or sixth time in two weeks. (As always, I encourage people to buy THAT OCTOBER from a good indie bookseller.)
