P. Shaun Neal's novel Mama's Song is lyrical and bracing, as rich as the dark soil that nurtures the tobacco crop Colby must somehow bring in after his father's death, or risk losing the family farm. Neal conjures a large cast of fully-realized characters, damaged and humane and true to life, set down in a time and place where kinship and a jagged faith in the Lord and in the next harvest mean everything, where want and thankfulness are as familiar as a favorite bible verse and even the young must acknowledge the hushed dominion of death. Mama's Song will pull you in from the first page, as secrets meant to stay buried as deep as a coffin slowly rise, conspiring to bring Colby's story to its gripping climax. Beautifully written and highly recommended. ↵

Neal, P. Shaun: - P. Shaun Neal is a lifelong resident of central Kentucky. He is a 1987 graduate of the University of Kentucky with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English where he studied under authors Gurney Norman and Ed McClanahan. He also won the Dantzler Award for Fiction.

At age fifteen he began working in the construction industry and made a career in concrete construction; the majority of that time self-employed and building truck stops, State Highways, bridges and airport runways. The love of, and need to, write fiction stayed with him throughout his life, and he worked on and off on this first novel for over twenty years.

In 1991, he and his wife, Lisa, built a house on five acres in Jessamine County, Kentucky, where they still live with their sons, Stormy and Conley, along with two dogs, three cats, three horses.

In addition to writing, his other artistic endeavors include woodworking and drawing portraits. His drawings have been shown in numerous art galleries in and around central Kentucky. MAMA'S SONG is his first novel, and he is currently busy writing the sequel, tentatively entitled The Man in the Wind.
