 The national judge said. "This book is filled with
well-developed characters.
We root for the main character. As the main character, Professor Betsy
Craig's tenure is threatened by by university politics and by
small-town
snobbery. Her determination to fight this injustice is squelched by
past
experiences that tell her that there is no remedy for discrimination.
Her
failure to act not only jeopardizes her career, but it dares to
complicate
the relationship her new love interest, colleague Todd Baker. Professor
Craig learns that in any battle, the biggest enemy can be one's own
self.
In
a "Mouth Full of Shell," we touch a piece of our own
humanity, as we
sense that sometimes fine line between victim and victor. This novel
enlightens,
as well as entertains.
A
Four Corners resident, Gotsch hosts a classical music
show on public
radio station KSJE-FM in Farmington, New Mexico, and in that capacity
creates
a segment called “Write On 4 Corners," for regional authors. She has
covered
the arts for numerous papers in New Mexico.
