Just finished!! So good!! So much tragedy (both severe and oddly casual) and yet so so much humor, spirit, and hope!

Book (THE ROAD TO TENDER HEARTS) against a many-colored peeling concrete background.

I recently Zoomed in with my first book club and had a great discussion with readers! If you're part of a book club and would be interested in a tender haunting debut that explores guilt, grief, and unconventional relationships, AND chatting with the author, feel free to reach out.

Flyer announcing I’M THE UNDERTOW available for book clubs with Q&A with author.

1️⃣ Tuesday til launch! 🌊 I'M THE UNDERTOW Fun Fact Countdown!

I'M THE UNDERTOW fun fact: There is a scene in the novel where a character reads aloud from a book. At first it was bits from A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANY, but then copyrights, permissions, etc. squashed that. So now... the parts read aloud actually come from my second novel, in progress. Spoiler alert!

Eric Scot Tryon@ericscottryon· Apr 23

BOOK MAIL! 📚📬 Yess!! Congrats on a gorgeous book, @allisonfieldbell.bsky.social ✨

I'M THE UNDERTOW Fun Fact: Many moons ago, I had 1/3 of the novel written & only saved on a flash drive. I accidentally left it in a computer at a college where I was teaching. Next day: Gone. All of it: Gone. But when I started over, it changed from 3rd person to 1st person, making all the difference.

I'M THE UNDERTOW Fun Fact: My middle name has nothing to do with F. Scott Fitzgerald, but I did once have lunch with Fitzgerald's assistant, Frances Kroll Ring, at her house. She was 90+ years old and so full of life and shared countless amazing stories. Though she did try to serve my mayonnaise that had expired 20 years prior.
