PRAISE FOR MAN WITH TWO FACES by Don Swaim:

"Man with Two Faces is an extravaganza--a wild ride through Depression-era America with hair-raising escapes, daring capers, and cameos by Clarence Darrow, Orson Welles, Albert Camus, and plenty of others from that unforgettable era. Don Swaim writes with such bravura assurance and rollicking good humor that the readers are carried along from beginning to end with little chance--or desire--to catch their breaths." S.T. Joshi, author of I Am Providence: The Life and Times of H. P. Lovecraft

"No one tells a story quite like Don Swaim. He's written a hell of a good yarn about a lovable antihero who expertly twists his way through a gauntlet of close calls, from villains' bullets and assassins' blades to tender affairs of the heart." William J. Donahue, editor-in-chief of Philadelphia Life magazine and author of Too Much Poison



PRAISE FOR THE ASSASSINATION OF AMBROSE BIERCE: A LOVE STORY by Don Swaim:

"Swaim weaves an engrossing web-work of literary references, historical detail, and ingenuous imagination. Genuine admirers of Ambrose Bierce will have no trouble falling in love with Swaim's "Love Story" - in fact, the only trouble they will have will be putting the book down for the night."
