Two New Novels Published

Hello, I have published two novels this year. Both have received favorable reviews by IndieReader. Both are available on Amazon and in paperback or Kindle format.

IndieReader reviewed TOO MANY STONES, giving the book its highest IR APPROVED rating at 5.0. The full review can be read on the IndieReader.com website by searching for the book’s name. Selected comments from the review are included below:

"Rodney Nelsestuen's TOO MANY STONES is an emotionally powerful novel... ...A luminous pastoral novel about how a young teen’s sexual awakening and rape drastically change her life and those of everyone close to her... ...TOO MANY STONES stretches from the Great Depression to the Vietnam War, but the challenges it presents are timeless... …sure to encourage deep conversation… …It deserves to be discovered and discussed on many levels." 

IndieReader reviewed QUIET DESPERATION, giving the book its IR APPROVED rating at 4.0. Selected comments from the review are included below:

“Author Rodney Nelsestuen has created a memorable central character who, for all of his many flaws, will eventually garner some sympathy from even the most hard-hearted reader. QUIET DESPERATION is a slim novella written in the first person and charting the disgruntled interior life of its protagonist, Winston Williamson... Williamson’s inner emotional turbulence is compelling...” his “ultimate self-reckoning…” and “… the ending (though intriguingly inconclusive) centers Williamson’s moment of truth and rewards the reader’s patience.”
