What Isn't Remembered (2021)
Kristina Gorcheva-Newberry
"You can read Kristina Gorcheva-Newberry’s What Isn’t Remembered for a revealing look into the lives of Russian immigrants in the U.S., or for the fearless depiction of relationships between women; but most of all you should read her for the startlingly gorgeous language she employs to powerful effect in story after story, from the title piece, ‘What Isn’t Remembered,’ with its lavish allusions to classical music and the convincing correlations between life and love and art, to the heartbreaking ‘Boys On the Moskva River,’ with its portrait of a family struggling to survive during the slow collapse of the Soviet Union. What Isn’t Remembered may be a literary debut, but Kristina Gorcheva-Newberry is a writer who comes to us in full blossom. She has clearly traveled a long road to bring us this brilliant first collection of stories."

The Hidden Light of Northern Fires (2017)
Daren Wang
"Wang’s engaging novel is a timely reminder of what can happen to a people when human rights are denied and the civil fabric of a nation is torn to pieces."

Dry Bones in the Valley (2014)
(Henry Farrell, book 1)
Tom Bouman
"Officer Henry Farrell is a shy man, but in his own ways just as ornery and tough as the cast of rugged characters who inhabit his Pennsylvania woods, where the mysteries are as old as love and grief. A rural cop with a keen intelligence and a wounded heart, Henry's the right man to unearth the secrets of Dry Bones in the Valley. Tom Bouman's debut novel is one you won't want to miss."
