Read an excerpt from "Sharks in the Time of Saviors"

April has brought chilly winds and even snow for many of us in the United States.

And, of course, now is not the time to escape to a tropical paradise.

Your best bet, if you’re wishing you were someplace warmer, might be to check out this excerpt from Sharks in the Time of Saviors by Kawai Strong Washburn.

The novel begins with a seven-year-old’s miraculous delivery, in the mouth of a shark, to his mother.

The family sees the episode as divine intervention, yet as the years pass, these supernatural forces seem to drive them apart.

Head to Literary Hub to get a taste of Washburn’s debut novel.
