(PRWEB) February 18, 2004 -- Once again, Austrailia's The Compulsive Reader gives higest marks for author Christopher Klim and his new novel Everything Burns--the much-anticipated followup to the cult classic, Jesus Lives in Trenton. "You'll want to go back and read the first novel once you're done," says CR's Donna Denm. "Thanks for such a wonderful read!"
Everything Burns sends photojournalist Boot Means after a deadly serial arsonist in Texas. Its the culmination of two years of interviews and research on pyromania, the height of compulsive," says Klim. Its often misunderstood. A true pyro often passes through animal torture as a child, then later on becomes an alcoholic, and finally starts burning. Theres no turning around at that point. Burning becomes a lurid and necessary act."
Christopher Klim has his hands full with the release of a hot new novel and shepherding a new magazine, Writers Notes (www.WritersNotes.com), which includes contemporary writing and the results of its annual independent publishers book awards.
Meanwhile, The Circle Magazine continues to pile on the early praise for the unique new author:
... grabs readers with a solid plot, a unique motive for the killer, and a convincing secondary story involving Boots attempt to establish a sense of family with his birth father," says Wes Lukowsky of Booklist.
Klim manages to integrate wisecracking characters and dramatic action without confusing the reader," says Maggie Harding, BookCrazy Radio. Though not an easy task, he has employed the same engaging combination of contrasts that we enjoyed in such shows as MASH and NYPD Blue."
Moves smoothly and builds to a surprising climax, and it'll leave you wishing for another Boot Means novel to follow. ... You'll want to go back and read the first novel once you're done. ... Thanks for such a wonderful read!" says Donna Denn of The Compulsive Reader.
Everything Burns is Klim's second novel featuring Boot Means," says Robert Gover, author One Hundred Dollar Misunderstanding. "Raised in foster care, an outsider yet resourceful and wise beyond his years, Boot Means is a unique and potent character who is earning his place in the pantheon of mythic American legends."
