CONFESSIONS OF A BIBLIOPHILE


"GEMINI FALLS"  Sean Wilson review, an intriguing story, with a surprising ending.


“If ever there was a novel that kept the reader wondering and interested in a time long gone, it has to be Gemini Falls.. wonderfully crafted by Sean Wilson. He completely immerses you in the era of the 1930 Great Depression.”
