Well I just finished “The Ferryman”last night…this novel will stay with me for a long, long time. Such a clever, heart wrenching tale. Thank you @jccronin 😎
I just finished The Passage trilogy by @jccronin and I’m so sad it’s over! And I also have so many lingering questions. Such a thought provoking series with endearing characters, mystery, suspense, and a thread of transcendence throughout.
Currently reading: THE PASSAGE TRILOGY, by @jccronin
@jccronin just finished The Passage. Most gripping book I’ve read in recent memory. I’m so excited that there are two more books!
I nearly finished @jccronin ‘s The Ferryman before I realized I was seeing elements of The Tempest all over. I googled it and sure enough, per the author: “A remote island. A storm-making magician. His teenage daughter, a teasing sprite and a savage monster.” What a trip it is.

I'm very excited to become part of @Texas2036, the premier non-partisan policy institute in Texas that on the basis of sound research and data seeks to aid our legislators & political leaders in enacting policies that will bring prosperity and opportunity to the people of Texas!
Texas 2036 is excited to announce today that former @RiceUniversity President @davidleebron will join the organization as its incoming president and CEO. David will succeed former U.S. Sec. of Education Margaret Spellings. Learn more: bit.ly/3wdyOGI
Finished first book of the New Year: The Ferryman @jccronin.. sci-fi isn't usually my thing but I couldn't put this down. I literally carried the book room to room for two weeks. Gripping, smart, funny, and beautiful. Loved it!
I had preordered The Ferryman and it was everything I anticipated it to be! Hard to let go of it. Already miss being enveloped into that world. Such an incredibly good story. Loved it so much @jccronin!
Currently reading The Ferryman. Loved The Passage Trilogy so immediately got this when it came out.
@BBCRadio4 I read many wonderful books last year, but my two favourites were the Starling House by Alix E Harrow and the Ferryman by @jccronin Loved them.both!!
Two more excellent books I read this summer. This @jccronin one was clever, complex and feels scarily prescient. Loved @JohnBoyneBooks ‘Water.’ Gonna be hard to swap novels for reports…
@PichaelMarkes So many of them! I have two that have meant the most to me. One is Cycle Of The Werewolf, by @StephenKing . That one solidified my decision to write creatively. The other is The Passage, by @jccronin . It’s a model for me on how to do everything write (see what I did there?)
@InkstoneBooks Well I really hate to choose favourites! I looked through my book journal to find the ones I'd allocated 5*+ (only two books out of 58). The Ferryman by @jccronin and the Rig by Roger Levy. So if I had to choose - then The Ferryman.
Just finished The Ferryman by @jccronin I couldn’t put it down. Bravo what a story and twist. I am now in a bookhole looking for that next great read. But this might have ruined other books for me.
Just finished "The City of Mirrors" by @jccronin, conclusion of the "The Passage" trilogy. The trilogy, an epic & convincing post-apocalyptic thrill-ride, is packed with vivid scenes of cinematic wonder, exhilarating action & heart-breaking beauty. An extraordinary achievement!
Decided this is how I’m going to kick off 2024.
@jccronin My first novel was published at the age of 60. I wrote the first draft at 58, but still, keep sluggin'.
I will never forget standing in my pajamas pouring out that wine. It was heartbreaking, like dumping my old "fun," "welcoming" self into the sink. But I didn't drink.
