Hi Jack,

I stumbled across your novel when surfing the Web. I am only up to Chapter 7 but am loving it so far. I had no idea you had a novel within you! It is wonderful… Thanks for posting it.

I hope you are well. Give my regards to Joe.

Best regards to you,
Michael

Dear Jack,

I finished your novel and it affected me more deeply than any I have read in a long while.

It was so real! I saw bits of my life/my feelings there. And it has ended well....all of it.

Best regards, Michael

“I read ACRE UNDER A GREEN SKY and I think it’s amazing.  I think this author is quite something else and the novel is a real page-turner.  I found it completely riveting.  I loved the mystery aspect and I also loved; absolutely loved the coming of age story.”

– Beth deGuzman, Warner Books

“Zeman’s use of language and power of characterization are impressive.  I also appreciated the sparkling detail he has injected into his description of small town, mid-20th-century American life.  My favorite aspect, though, was his dead-on rendering of the inner life of his young protagonist: it was incisive, funny, and very poignant.  Many of his reflections were simply transporting.”

– Elisabeth Schmitz, Grove/Atlantic

“Zeman is a very fine writer and he captures the sensibility of this small-town boy’s perceptions with both humor and wisdom, even as he hints at the darkness of adulthood and maturity.  Reading this brings to mind comparisons with TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD and SNOW FALLING ON CEDARS.  It is at once literary and elegant.”

– Shawn Coyne, Doubleday

“This is a great story and both the concept and execution are solid.”

– Tristram Coburn, Pocket Books

“ACRE UNDER A GREEN SKY is a wonderfully written and gripping novel, and I think Jack’s conceived an excellent plot.”

– Colin Dickerman, Broomsbury

“I think Zeman has crafted a beautiful, powerful piece of work.”

– Christine Brooks, Bantam
