Great Review for “The River City Chronicles”
Warren Rochelle just posted a beautiful review of River City over at Goodreads: In addition to being a family novel, River City is also a love story, or rather, interconnected love stories: between the various couples, between friends, between parents and children, and sometimes this love is rejected or pushed away. Love is changed and challenged by the past and its secrets. River City is also a fairy tale, in both senses of the word, as one focus of the novel is on its gay characters and their relationships, and such gay issues and themes as the often complicated and … Read more
Five Star Review for The Stark Divide
Just got a great five star review for “The Stark Divide” from Erin O’Quinn: “I cannot begin to describe the lush detail, the mind-blowing invention, the beauty and uniqueness of Coatsworth’s world. Every paragraph is rich and delicious as red velvet cake, hard and believable as “Ship’s Bone.” From the interplanetary ships that eat and breathe solar wind and space dust…to the Dragons Reach mountains and the Far Hold… this world unfolds with infinite variety.” Wow. 🙂 See the full review here Buy Links: Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074G2NJP6 Barnes & Noble: https://bit.ly/2J78Dbz Kobo: https://bit.ly/2LWnSSp DSPP (Publisher): https://bit.ly/2FgBByQ

Five Stars for River City from Drops of Ink
Just got another fantastic review for “The River City Chronicles” – five stars from Anne Barwell at Drops of Ink: I was drawn into the story immediately, and wanted to know more about the overarching story, the characters, and how they would interact. The chapters are a great size, perfect for diving in and out of the story although, as I approached the latter part of the book, I didn’t want to put it down as I wanted to know how everyone’s stories would end. The story is a lovely, easy, feel-good read with plenty of ‘heart,’ and I very … Read more
