Praise for ME AGAIN, the debut novel from Keith Cronin

"Cronin's debut is an engaging read, utilizing an affable tone and ample humor to temper subject matter that could easily fall into melodrama. The novel shines when navigating the complex interpersonal relationships Jonathan has been thrown back into, as he gets to know not just the family he's unable to remember, but also the man he used to be."

~ Kirkus Reviews

"Me Again is a 'leave me alone, I'm reading' kind of book."

~ Bibliophiliac

"Cronin has a gentle sense of humor that seems effortless."

~ Book Club Classics

"A funny, sad, sweet, poignant and heartfelt novel that I can't recommend highly enough."

Keith Cronin's Top Ten Rules of Writing

Following the lead of Elmore Leonard's brilliant 10 Rules of Writing (which you can read here), I've condensed the advice and insights that I've found helpful over the years into this David Letterman-like Top Ten list:

10. Never say verdant.

9. Just because it's true doesn't make it compelling – or even interesting.

8. Adverbs are just words. They don't damage sentences; writers do.

7. Three words: Strunk and White.

6. Don't fall in love with your words. Makes it harder to kill them.

5. It's hard to grow if you only write what you know. Crap, that rhymes. Wasn't meant to.

4. When writing sex scenes, leave out the thing with the turkey baster. Trust me on this.

3. Stop bitching. You have cut-and-paste, and the Undo key. Most literary greats did not.

2. You're not wrong: Clive Cussler really does suck.

1. It's fiction. Make stuff up.
