Modern Manners For Your Inner Demons (2017)
Tara Laskowski
"Tara Laskowski's stories show off a wonderful fusion of freshness and experience."
The Convert's Song (2014)
(Valentine Pescatore, book 2)
Sebastian Rotella
"I read like a zealo.... The story got me in a chokehold as the characters grew more and more complex and Rotella's style thickened and boiled and bubbled."
The Divorce Papers (2014)
Susan Rieger
"Fresh and lively... Smart and wonderfully entertaining... The power and canniness of this bittersweet work of epistolary fiction pulls you along... [T]his portrait of a divorce makes for serious, yet charming, entertainment... A dramatic intertwining of the law and human feelings."
