Randall's Reach (across the pond)
Apparently we aren't the only ones who like Randall Stephens' The Fire Spreads. It just received a nice review in the Times Literary Supplement (UK). The reviewer called it a "strikingly imaginative account of riotous religious competition." Congrats Randall! You can read the full review here.

I like Martin's take on Palin in the review and I think he does much to tie these different regional strands together.
