—Cemetery Dance

“Evoking both Jim Carroll’s The Basketball Diaries and Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury, it’s intimate and utterly engaging, a suspenseful glimpse into the desperate lives of its disadvantaged protagonists.”

“A well-crafted debut novel that impressed me with its powerful story.”
—Risingshadow
