Simple. Gives you the information that you need to follow.”“Very readable. Draws you into the story from the first page.”—Judges for the 2012 Annual Book Awards,Bay Area Independent Publishers Assn. (BAIPA)“Wildly imaginative black comedy. The gripping opening drags the reader into the nightmare of Raymond’s brush with the supernatural, with the threat of the invasive sea in the basement suffocatingly real. The details, such as thespectacles that won’t come off Raymond’s face and turn everyone he sees to a death’s head, are surreal and horribly convincing. Lindsey has an enviable turn of phrase and this is excellent black comedy. The storyline has the classic fantasy themes of the dark forces versus the flawed human hero, and the alliances which develop in a world where magic is possible. I think this would appeal to someone who likes the black humour of Neil Gaiman’s fantasy novels.”—Jean Gill, France“How to write like a pirate! Superb writing style and a captivating story filled with shining and disappearing characters, ghostly insights and laugh out loud humor. Great read. I’m hooked. Bring on the sequel, prequel or any work bythis author. It’s just that good.”—C. L. Sumruld, Nashville TN“Your style is unique, your colorful language and characters are endearing. Your gentle choice of words in intimate moments is both sweet and believable. You seem to be able to connect thoughts and passion of both young and old.Quite carefully and sensitively you took me in and skillfully stirred my heart.”—Judy Jones, Texarkana Texas“Eighteenth century time travel, grinding existential angst and hearty dollops of Buddhist-flavored metaphysics.—Standard-Times San Angelo TexasPraise for The Flaw in the Fabric Audiobook“What a beautifully-prepared audiobook! I’ve listened to hundreds of audiobooks and this is one of the best I’ve ever heard.”—Laura Maask, Medimagery
