— from Vincent Dublado’s review of Bar Maid for Readers’ Favorite
Ponder
Ponder will be Daniel Roberts’s second novel launching in 2023. A boozy love triangle set against the backdrop of Walt Disney World in the waning moments of 1999, best friends, Disney-obsessed and rakish John Apple, and Falstaffian, alcohol-obsessed Murray Marks, fall for the very same extraordinary young woman, the formidable southern belle, Virginia Wells. This dark comedy told from the perspective of Murray Camembert “Cheese” Marks explores the underbelly of the world’s most popular tourist destination and the darkest moments of a collective romantic soul.
