Congratulations are due to Myfanwy Collins on the publication of her debut novel, Echolocation, from Engine Books. Way to go, Myf!

Here’s what the jacket copy has to tell us about the book:

“Cheri and Geneva grew up on ‘a little patch of nothing made up of dairy farms in the valleys and boarded up iron-ore mines in the mountains, a town of old folks waiting to die and young people dying to leave.’ Now, Cheri has fled that life for the city, leaving Geneva behind to care for their aunt as she succumbs to cancer. Her death draws them back together, forcing them to face their past–and each other. When Cheri’s mother turns up with a strange baby and a dangerous secret close behind, the choices that follow will push all of them beyond boundaries they never thought they’d cross. In this stunning debut novel, Myfanwy Collins lays bare the hearts of three lost women called together by their own homing instincts in a season that will change their lives–and the place they call home–forever.”

Check it out. You won’t be disappointed, as Myfanwy if an immensely talented writer. Very happy for her and this opportunity.
