31 Paradiso (2022)
Rhoda Huffey
"Rhoda Huffey writes like an angel who saw what happened in the garden and still remained an optimist. On each page of Francine Didwell's story there is an original joy, many times rescued from the powers of her religious family and many from Francine's amazed view of the world. At times her empathy feels like X-ray glasses and all the ordinary things in her teeming cosmos of Venice Beach glow. She can hear her dog's thoughts and her cat is her AA sponsor. This is a special book. With all its signs and wonders, there is tap dancing too."

This Is Not Your City (2011)
Caitlin Horrocks
"Caitlin Horrocks is a stunning writer and these stories mark a brilliant debut."

The Gateway (2007)
T M McNally
"McNally writes from the inside out. These dramatic contemplations on the radical ways we connect in families show his remarkable vision. In prose at once fierce and elegiac, these powerful stories compose a careful and rueful celebration of our times."
