Reviews
Praise for LADY CHURCHILL'S ROSEBUD WRISTLET "Tiny but celebrated."
-The Washington Post "Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet never fails to hook me."
-New Pages "What is in this container?" Is it "dwarves and faeries and hobgoblins sitting around drinking mead out of acorns?" Or "post-nuclear holocaust cannibal mutants with a taste for sexy college students?" Perhaps it's something even more sinister, some sort of "weird or speculative fiction."
