No Stopping Us Now (2022)
Lucy Jane Bledsoe
"The characters are beautifully drawn, the story expertly plotted and moving and as a former D-I basketball player, it is close to my heart."
Answer Creek (2020)
Ashley E Sweeney
"In Answer Creek, Sweeney rescues the story of the Donner Party from its fate as salacious anecdote and delivers a harrowing tale of resilience, folly, loss, and hope."
