Milksop: In Others’ Words, Part 3

I’ve received another lovely endorsement for my debut novel Milksop!

Here’s a taste of what Melissa Kuipers says: “Full of delightful characters, farming mishaps, and a relatable city-slicker narrator who finds himself out of his depth in the country, Van Rys’s debut novel is full of description so rich you can smell the hay and feel the rumble of the tractor while reading.”

What else does Melissa say? In my latest ODD post, part 3 of “Milksop: In Others’ Words,” you’ll find her full endorsement along with my reflection on her words, especially on how Milksop is a fish-out-of-water story. I also ask whether my novel and I are something of a fish out of water in the publishing world.
