How to Shame the Devil
$29.99
A Novella by Ros Thomas
Her silence did not mean yes.
Art Lambkin, newly confined to a nursing home, is terrified of being erased from the outside world. Determined to remain relevant, he engages in a correspondent’s war on the Letters Page of his daily newspaper, pitting his acerbic wit against a rogue gallery of bigots, windbags and egomaniacs. But when a woman surfaces from Art’s long-ago past, he soon becomes the villain in a scandal that threatens to destroy everything—and everyone—he knows.

Loved it.
Laura Keenan –
Thanks so much for your comments, Bruce! We are glad the book has resonated on so many fronts for you. It’s why we love it, too. It’s layered and nuanced and presents a multi-dimensional account of a man, his life, and a defining incident. Ros allows the reader to draw his/her own conclusion and judgement, which is the best form of generosity and trust a reader can ask for!
