Night Watch (2023)
Jayne Anne Phillips
"A lovely piece of work . . . Night Watch is another of Jayne Anne Phillips's intimate revelatory creations."
Every Bone a Prayer (2020)
Ashley Blooms
"I have loved Every Bone a Prayer since I saw an early draft years ago, loved Misty, her family, her secret talents, and the way she sees the world around her, from the crawfish in muddy water to the ghostly trees she runs past in the night, to the trailer park where she and her family barely survive. This is a book and a writer I highly recommend."
