7 Minutes in Book Heaven with Jeff Billington and Summer's Second

Today, we meet Jeff Billington and his new novel: Summer"s Second. In this novel, Asher Brock’s last summer of youth is far from ideal. His hopes for the future, including an escape from his constricting Ozark Mountains hometown, seem increasingly fragile as he faces hurdles of poverty and abuse, all while coming to terms with being gay. Jeff Billington is the author of Chicken Dinner News and Summer"s Second. He has worked as a journalist, Communications Director for a member of Congress, and for environmental and advocacy nonprofits.
