Mountain (Re)view of Indie Books: There was Music by J.D. Grubb

Hello world!

Announcing the second book for the Mountain (Re)views of indie books: There was music by J.D. Grubb.

The blurb:

She defied them with survival. Prisoner 43-1-12 contends with the voices of her past, present, and future in the war-altered world of Illirium. From a ranch outside a rural town, to a prison formed from city ruins, and a wilderness marked by supernatural encounters, There was Music explores the struggle between identity and the cost of survival, the power of music and the hope of healing. *** Warning: This story contains some scenes with non-graphic torture, sexual assault, rape, and suicidal thoughts.***

Read it and join me in aiming to review by June 6th on the Goodread’s Community, Briarpatch Bookclub.

Budding author, Laughing Briar, is a science fiction and fantasy writer, traveler, and lover of the written word just like any other flower pen out there. Feeding on the madness of a woman’s mind, they’ve planted roots in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Nourished by an engineering education from The Ohio State University, a blended family upbringing, and an insatiable wanderlust, Briar draws deeply from these wells to inspire their stories. In their free time, Briar enjoys tumbling down mountain trails, seeding songs in karaoke, and rooting for their D&D party to survive the darkest of dungeons. Today, they are the author of exactly forty-two short stories and are planning to release their debut novel, ‘Gambling on Common Sense,’ by 2024. For those new to them, time is a cycle, and it’s great to see you again.
