Through Watson's work running an annual writers conference in Florida, Watson has many high level supporters such as Dennis Lehane, Laura Lippman, Stewart O'Nan, Tom Franklin, etc. All of these authors will support the book. Watson is also well-connected in the academic world–he was director of creative writing program at Eckerd College for 20 years and continues to teach at Pine Manor College in Boston, MA. Like his previous novel, Suitcase City, the vivid Florida setting should make the book a regional hit, as well as a strong national release. Suitcase City received three starred trade reviews and we are confident The Committee will be well-received as well.
