Editorial Reviews

WINNER, Collection of Short Stories --Illinois Woman's Press Association (IWPA)
WINNER, Collection of Short Stories --National Federation of Press Women (NFPW)

"This collection of stories is suspenseful and varied. The author shows a well-developed sense of the ridiculous and ironic, and makes effective use of unusual, unpredictable, and unsettling events. Her characters seem to be outsiders, and go beyond the familiar types one often sees in stories." --National Federation of Press Women
