What They Say

"There is a narrative tone here reminiscent of Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye, though even more contemporary and current. This comes through because of your immense talent for narrative description and your overall knowledge of craft."
- Alexander Weinstein (MVICW)

[C.E. Layne] has "a remarkable ear for language and a deeply poetic sense of atmosphere."
- Dr. Donald Quist (University of Missouri)

"I love the candidness of the narrative voice... In both description and language, you captured the desolation of Golden Springs, Nevada, and what that means for the folks who live there. This is a vivid and memorable story."
- Justine Payton (The Masters Review)

"There are many sharp observations throughout the story... I like how you capture uneasiness and difficult situations."
- Rene Rogers
