Get your copy now because the hunt for Emory continues with the release of the long-anticipated follow-up: If You Find Emory Walden.Praise for Discontents"The story begins like a whirring fan, mesmerizing, energizing. And then just as you grow accustomed to the white noise it increases in speed and intensity. The notches are small but constant, and the effect is deceptively gripping." -David Brown, Goodreads review"Discontents is a savant-level weaving of character, dialog and place into a "what's real and what's not" journey. The reader is whisked along as the protagonist's mind and sanity unravel as he tries to figure out who wants him dead." - Doc Munker, Goodreads review"By using witty dialogue, well-crafted prose and constantly stoking the coals of unsettled relationships and motivations, Birch maintains a consistent level of traction with the reader enabling a near effortless ability to engage the material. Main characters are well-developed, relationships are clear, and ulterior desires/motivations are effectively obfuscated as the story unwinds keeping suspense at the level of intrigue." -Daniel Shortell, Goodreads Review"The story is refreshing. The perspective of the real outsider-not someone who has found a comfortable place within this society, but a truly disaffected young man with no prospects-is a welcome change to the political thriller on the shelf." -Scott Bury, Goodreads review"I really liked Discontents. The writing is excellent, and it satisfied from the start. But about 30 pages in, magic happened... Discontents hit the golden gear at this point--all of a sudden, the characters were real for me, and I wanted to turn the pages and spend more time with them. Then on top of that, a plot kicked in that I hadn't seen coming, and I was hooked in... This one's well worth your time...it'll stay with you after you've read the final page." -Joe Crubaugh, Goodreads review
