The novel was published in August to rave reviews. However, Covid-19 derailed all these plans. Danton also had book launches and signing sessions scheduled in Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia and the United Kingdom.
Riverrun, A Novel was slated for a book launch last April in Singapore. Danton willingly obliged, but turned one chapter into a satire on sex. They also asked him to add not one, but two sex scenes to balance the pining and longing in the novel. He prepared himself for a long wait, but they emailed him the next day saying they are interested, but how should the novel be sold? So Danton sent a comprehensive marketing plan for the novel in Asia, the U.K. de Jesus told him that Penguin Random House South East Asia is looking for fiction manuscripts, so he sent his novel. Danton became Head of School, English, at the University of Nottingham in Malaysia in 2017.
