Welcome to Litsy!

Although this book was written 25 years ago, it is more relevant today than it was when first published. There are some mystical elements with the main character being a “dowser” or “water witch.” This provides the author his creative license to explore the effects of the environment on the community. Does he “ignore” the potential presence of wildlife where the company has invested money to build or jeopardize his legal career?

“Patience told me two things when Laura, my wife, introduced us almost twenty years ago. She told me that as a dowser she is in touch with the earth. And she told me that as a man, I have great potential to become grotesque.” From the first chapter of WATER WITCHES. I‘m not sure I‘ve written anything truer. I love this 25th anniversary edition that Vintage published this summer with a special note from yours truly. Also available in eBook & audio

Squeal, look what just arrived! My first Chris Bohjalian book that I ever read and the book that my better amazing librarian half, John used for his first bookclub discussion! We met Chris in Washington, DC three year at the National Book Festival & John still talks about that moment! I know what we will be doing tonight! 📚😀

Want to escape the present? (And who doesn‘t?) The 25th anniversary edition of my gently comic, magical realist novel of global climate change, WATER WITCHES, goes on sale TODAY wherever you buy books or download audios. Also? It includes a special author‘s note from yours truly about the process of writing it.

Surprise! Look what arrives June 30: a beautiful 25th anniversary edition of my 1995 novel, WATER WITCHES: “an eerily prescient political drama about global climate change.” Author‘s note included.

Today, we want to not only recognize books, but the Litten Authors who take time to interact on Litsy, talk with fans, and be a fan themselves.

The 2019 #LitsyAwards #Winner is Chris Bohjalian for being an active member of Litsy, and not just because we offer praise, or to promote his own work.

A local thrift store was having a sale. Two dollars for four books.

This is a great guide that I think everybody who is thinking of working with a pendulum should pick up and read.
