Short Takes

Publishers Weekly review of E. J. Levy's LOVE, IN THEORY. "A master of [her] form. . . . Levy is skilled at bringing [her] characters to life, each story searingly made real through [her] subtlety and fastidious attention to detail."

The Post and Courier also considers Levy a master of her craft, proclaiming, "Levy is a master at holding readers in her grasp until the final sentence."

According to the Life in Review blog, LOVE, IN THEORY "is a captivating short story collection," and "[t]he writing is outstanding." The reviewer "very highly recommend[s] this book!"

The Aiken Standard praises Charles Seabrook's "enthusiasm" in THE WORLD OF THE SALT MARSH. "The reader is along for the ride in this celebration of one of the most magnificent natural habitats in the world. . . . Seabrook’s book is written from the perspective of someone who deeply appreciates the natural habitat with which he is clearly so familiar. Part of the charm of the book is the author’s presentation of some of the people. . .whose livelihoods depend upon a healthy salt marsh."

The Southern Festival of Books is happening this weekend (October 12-14) in Nashville, TN. We will be in booth #19.

We have a lot of author events happening this weekend. Be sure to make your calendars!
