I’m a local Stratford author and I have just released my latest book entitled, “The Brushy Ridge Militia” in late May. The book is about a group of bereaved parents who, after their children and loved ones have been killed in a school shooting, pledge themselves to do something about gun violence in the US.
The book has received extremely positive reviews

– With booklife/Publishers weekly it earned a prestigious Editor’s Pick designation and the review said: “Chiocchi plays with pacing and structure in a way that demands readers keep up, though the tonal shifts—between courtroom drama, psychological breakdown, media circus, and empathetic accounts of inner lives—always have an urgent emotional logic, mirroring the pained chaos of national discourse around gun violence.”
– Reedsy Discovery said: “A disturbing, yet compelling legal thriller. Nothing short of brilliant.”
– The book earned a gold emblem award from Literary Titan which said: “If you’re a fan of politically charged thrillers, or books that explore the human cost of policy decisions, this is must-read.”
