Praise for Author Brent Jones:

While the plot follows a deceptively simple story line . . . [The Fifteenth of June] is richly layered in questions of identity, familial bonds, and the propensity for individuals to change direction and forage a new fate.

—Thorold Public Library

. . . since it’s such a well-written book, the author is able to make you empathize with this sad human being. And then, just when you are as disgusted as you can be with Drew, things change and you start rooting for him. . . . The Fifteenth of June is definitely a strong debut novel and I look forward to reading more from Mr. Jones!

—Shannon O’Sullivan, Book Reviewer (booknista.com)

Brent Jones balances funny and serious moments and delivers an uplifting story. Can’t wait to see what the author will pen next!

—Caryl Mostacho, Amazon & Goodreads Reviewer

[The Fifteenth of June] is a deep book and can apply to all of us no matter what situation we are in. . . . This is a great story and one that I recommend for anyone.

—Jessica Bronder, Book Reviewer (jbronderbookreviews.com)

Be prepared for a heavy life lesson and a feel-good ending as the author graphically demonstrates despair and reawakening hope. . . . [The Fifteenth of June is] a biting, successful debut effort from Brent Jones. Recommended read.

—Stanley McShane (Virginia Williams), Author of Cocos Island Treasure

. . . authors like Mordecai Richler and Douglas Coupland . . . known for their dark but humourous literary masterpieces, clearly guided Jones’ hand during the production of his debut novel, The Fifteenth of June.

—Niagara This Week

I think some of the ugly truths about human nature in [The Fifteenth of June] were powerful. Fantastic debut from a talented author.

—Michael McDonald, Author of Walking Away from Depression

[The Fifteenth of June is] a process, for both the protagonist and the reader, of self-discovery and acceptance . . . and through this process, both reader and protagonist are shown glimpses of hope, of different possibilities, of the potential for change, and begin to understand that the way events and situations shape us depends on how we choose to deal with them . . .

—Daphne Kapsali, Author of 100 Days of Solitude

[The Fifteenth of June] is full of wit, and even though the story has some darkness to it, it has plenty of humor and lighthearted moments as well to balance it out.

—Dana Gore, Author of Choose Awareness
