Forthcoming from Galena House
The mythology becoming self-aware.
Good Little Innkeeper is Avery Lane Maxwell's forthcoming literary companion to Still, by Design. — a novel about hospitality, projection, sobriety, beauty, and the dreamer behind the dream.
Not an exposé about an inn. An exposé of the self — a literary examination of how beauty, hospitality, sobriety, longing, and reinvention shaped the creation of Elias, and the life Avery was building underneath him.
He spent years becoming someone beautiful enough to deserve belonging. The Monday conversation was the moment he realized he'd become so good at it that he'd lost track of where the becoming ended.
