Praise for Since September
“Dark and disturbing, Since September is a short, sharp shock to the brain. Brilliantly written from the first person perspective, it takes a look into the mind of a woman following the death of her mother. Voices and images come and go, the reader never quite sure what’s real and what isn’t. The story keeps you guessing until the very end. If you like Stephen King, you’ll love Since September! Read during daylight hours. You have been warned!”
– Rae Gee, Roswell Publishing
“Psychological horror is so much scarier than gore and monsters, and that is just what this novella is, a gripping, psychological nightmare. Short but holds no punches! . . . a quick but toe-curling read. . . well-written, suspenseful, and ultimately delivers a horrifying twist of an ending.”
“… a well-written psychological thriller regarding a very complex mother-daughter relationship that you will read in one setting.“
– Shayla Kwiatkowski, author of Desdinova
“So frigging good!! I have been in such a reading slump for months I actually thought I’d have to turn on the television but this book saved me. Amazing story, amazing writing, yes it’s that good. I really hate for it to end! Read it, you won’t be sorry.“
-Amazon review, Peggy ( Buena Vista, Co)
“From close friends to family members to inmates in a psych ward, the characters are fully realized and believable, and this is what drives the story for me. Plus the novella flows so well that I found myself unable to put it down. I zoomed through it in around two hours! Kudos to the author for pulling me into this little, twisted corner of the literary world – I’m looking forward to seeing what she publishes next.”
– Amazon review, “CatControlled”
