I had the pleasure of attending a virtual book launch for Christopher Swann s latest book, Never Turn Back. When I read his debut novel, Shadow of the Lions, I enjoyed it so much, I sent copies to several friends, so I was delighted to have the opportunity to hear him speak about his second book and his writing process.
I found Never Turn Back especially enjoyable for its Atlanta setting and classroom scenes. Ethan Faulkner, the protagonist teaches English at a private school and resides in the Chastain Park area as the story opens. As a child, he lives in Sandy Springs outside the Perimeter until a home invasion turned deadly forces him and his sister to move to Grant Park. The novel moves back and forth between the present and the tragedy that shaped Ethan s life.
