Mid West Book Reviews called Harriet Rzetelny's Graveyard Blues " A fascinating and intriguing mystery not to be missed."
The review says, Graveyard Blues "is the story of Molly Lewin as she confronts the crushing environment around her. A homecare worker, she faces a client's murder, and the pending eviction of everyone at a low rent complex as big business wants to take over their land. Crushed between family issues, the murder, and the loss of home for people with few other options,Graveyard Blues is a fascinating and intriguing mystery not to be missed.

Available Light by Reamy Jansen
When SUNY Rockland and Fordham professor Reamy Jansen was young, he made a box to store family photos, adding a sprinkling of red and blue glitter over 'images that had already starrted to curl and roll up like rhododendron leaves in winter.' This graceful suite of personal essays should prove a more durable keepsake, with breathtaking phrases that glint and surprise.
-- Chronogram Arts and Literature Magazine of the Hudson Valley
It's a book of stories that could be the stories of so many mean -- about hi many varied relationships: with his dad, his sons, hims mom, his wife, and even his belongings.
—Mary Jane Pitt, News of the Highlands (Highland Falls, NY 10928) 7-30-10
Some Place Quite Unknown by Jane Lazarre
Rain Taxi says: "Jane Lazarre's latest novel-- as intimate as a memoir, as beautifully worded as prose poetry-- looks like a quiet book on the surface, but it's much more. It's a whisper that leaves the main character Celia's throat and grabs hold of the reader's."
Night Sweat by Nathan Leslie
Eric Weinstein says in his review in Prick of the Spindle , "Night Sweat is essentially about the encroachment of the dream world on daily life, the endless (re)visitation of one’s past via the vehicle of dream, and the blurring of one’s real and imagined selves. The last few lines of 'In the Rumpus Room' beautifully sum up the simultaneously nightmarish and nostalgic qualities in these opposing worlds: 'Promise me the forceps aren’t rusty, / that you can pinch me at arm’s length. / Pinch me awake when the clouds cover the sun.'”
