Cooper Moon

“Every now and then I come across a book that refuses to be set aside. A book that has me thinking, ‘I can throw a TV dinner in the microwave for the family.’ A book that I read while everyone else in the room is watching one of my favorite television shows. A book that lingers on the edge of my consciousness until I finish the last sentence. Cooper Moon: The Calling is just such a book.”

WHAT THE CRITICS SAY

Ms. Shireman solidly grounds her characters with sincerity and strong personality. There was not a character described that I didn’t feel I knew personally by the end of the book.

Shireman created an engaging cast of characters with distinct personalities and challenges. Reminded me of Garrison Keillor’s “Lake Woebegone” stories on A Prairie Home Companion.

New Book Covers for the Cooper Moon series!

One of the most difficult things for a writer to do is to choose a book cover. A cover needs to capture the attention of a reader and convey the message and “feel” of a book. A writer spends months (sometimes years!) creating a novel and then has to convey all of those words in…
