Tis the Season for The Glamshack


Paul Cohen released his debut novel, The Glamshack, back in June with 7.13 Books. It appeared in B&N's list of 10 debut novels for your Autmn Reading!

You can snag yourself, and your most beloved ones, a copy here. 






Here's a taste of what you'll find inside: 





What is it about Her particular brand of loveliness that turns old Henry to tapioca? She’s not delicate featured, not in the least. She’s got a big, strong jaw, hands that are almost manly, packaged cleavage and lioness hair. The hands remind Henry of his mother’s, no-nonsense, get-the-job-done hands. The jaw and cleavage and hair play superbly with the bearing, which is unhurried, regal, bemused. Her manner is this: you tickle me mildly. And—and this is what turns old Henry to tapioca--She seems to need enchanted moments as much as He does. What’s more, She seems to see enchantment in him. Which makes old Henry feel downright lovely. Even divine.
