This emotionally-charged debut is sure to keep readers up late into the night to find out who is left standing. Ultimately up to Sid whether his destiny fulfills his potential or drowns in the bottom of a bottle. Daniel Ford is an author and journalist. He also co-hosts Writer’s Bone, a literary podcast dedicated to championing aspiring authors and screenwriters. Ford lives with his fiancée Stephanie in Boston’s North End, surrounded by bourbon and books. Sid Sanford Lives! is his first novel. https://www.facebook.com/event s/1553310621387055/
