From Publisher’s Weekly about the forthcoming Coyote Blues:
“Grounded in kindness, queerness, and just a hint of magic, this is sure to satisfy.”
From Curve Magazine about As the Crow Flies:
“There are two romances for the price of one in this fascinating book, and the paranormal elements are skillfully woven through the entire story. Don’t worry if you’re not a fan of ghost stories–I didn’t thing I was but this book convinced me otherwise…The settings were described using wonderful language and imagery and the quality of the writing overall was very high…I definitely recommend this book if you want something intellectual and a little bit different to sink your teeth into.”
As the Crow Flies is now available as an audiobook from Amazon, Audible, and Bold Strokes Books.
