Praise for The Sturgeon's Heart
By Amy E. Casey

— ALA Booklist
Praise for Someone Should Pay for Your Pain

Praise for The Cold Last Swim
By Junior Burke

“Cast in the style of noir, albeit sunny California noir . . . Burke’s narrative is a whirlwind escape into the speculative Land of What-If,” and “the timing . . . might well be perfect. We can be entertained in Burke’s alternate land of the stars and the star-struck just at a time when the real world brakes to a dead stop.”

— PopMatters
