I wrote this review a few months ago and am happy to say that "The Typist" has been published and in Stock now! The American Booksellers Association liked my review and published it in the August IndieNext brochure! http://news.bookweb.org/news/august-2010-indie-next-list-preview
written: April, 2010 I've just completed reading an advance copy sent to us by the publisher of The Typist by Michael Knight and it will certainly be one of the new novels gracing our shelves when it comes out in August 2010
Here is my review:
"The Typist" offers up for our consideration the lives of three boys during the American Occupation of Japan and the
lifelong injuries their tour produced. Two American soldiers, with no heroic combat feats to their credit,
a Japanese boy attempting to adapt and better himself in an alien environment, and the isolation and
adulation of a general’s son. It is a chapter of WWII that has gone largely unnoticed by books, movies
and Memorial Day parades, yet produced casualties and stories of hope just the same. The story created an interest,
for me, to read more about the era and the people living then.

Author's Response!
Dear Simone-
My editor Jen Pooley forwarded your e-mail of a few weeks ago to me. I was so glad to hear that the book moved you as it did. I just wanted to thank you for your kind words as well as for recommending it to your customers via your website. As you know, that can make all the difference with a new book. It is much appreciated.
Hope this finds you well.
Thanks again, Michael Zadoorian
