Night of the Purple Moon by Scott Cramer – I think I’d have offered long odds against a self-published author ever making my top 3 of the month, but Scott Cramer’s incredibly tense account of a world after space dust kills off everyone past puberty, leaving the children to form a new society, deserves its place. Really strong characters and a great plot make this one which I’d highly recommend. Scott was kind enough to give me a great interview, as well!
