New Review for The Stone Lion

William Eisner's The Stone Lion (coming this February) will be reviewed in next months issue of Booklist.

Reviewer Carol Gladstein writes:

"Told through the eyes of a collection of characters, this is a tale of business and personal intrigue. Eisner gives readers a seat at ETI’s executive table, taking them deep into the heart of a business and exploring all aspects of this highly competitive world. Filled with humor and insight, Eisner’s latest novel is a fascinating story of people attempting to navigate complex terrain while keeping the simple things in plain sight."

Publishers Weekly - 1/07/13 - Resolve Review

J.J. Hensley's first Novel Resolve has been favorably reviewed in this months issue of Publishers Weekly:

"The Pittsburgh Marathon serves as the backdrop for this impressive first novel from former police officer and Secret Service agent Hensley."

"This artfully constructed mystery makes effective use of the third-rate-college setting and of Pittsburgh, as revealed by the course of the marathon, marked by each of the 26 chapters."

The Man on the Third Floor promoted in The Boston Globe

Yesterday's "Boston Globe" mentioned Anne Bernays' latest novel The Man on the Third Floor in the "Word on the Street" section in a 'News about New England Books and Authors' update by Jan Gardner.

"“I was really intrigued,” she said in a recent phone interview. How was it possible for a married man to carry out an affair with another man in the house he shared with his wife?

Bernays’s answer is her novel “The Man on the Third Floor” (Permanent), which is narrated by a successful book editor living on the Upper East Side of New York in the 1950s who has an affair with the man who comes to measure his office for new carpeting.

To find out how the subterfuge succeeded — or didn’t — you’ll have to read the book or listen for a clue when Bernays reads from it at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Porter Square Books in Cambridge."

Marc Schuster Rates The Inbetween People for Small Press Reviews

"In 'The Inbetween People', debut novelist Emma McEvoy weaves together the disparate narratives of a handful of desperate, disenchanted characters to demonstrate that we are all, despite our differences, doing our best to make sense of our fallen, fractured world." --Marc Schuster, Small Press Reviews

Knock Knock Review on Gather.com

Shiela Deeth has praised Suzanne McNear's Knock Knock, a Life in her latest review on Gather.com

"Suzanne McNear’s Knock Knock, a Life brings a world of bright hopes and hard knocks into focus, where the Bishop rushes through confirmation, post-WWII songs play their soundtrack, and a father takes pictures of his daughter “to prove that she is pretty.” “To smile is to engage the world,” he says, and young March is learning to hide behind her smile.

Will success at school make her popular? Will finding a lover make her loved? Will marrying and carrying children make her the daughter she’s meant to be? But the world March grows up in is changing. Women’s roles broaden while men’s expectations hold them back. And the young woman who wants to fit in is condemned to feel like an imposter. March graduates, leaves home, gains her independence and returns with everything she’d hoped for and none of her dreams. But children bring connection to the present, even as depression drives March ever further from herself and her past." 

"The author uses detail to great effect in this novel, highlighting authenticity with echoes on the phone and the awkward determination of motherhood...The little girl who knew her neighbors so well eventually knows herself and tells her own tale, writing it down, bleeding an age into words, and delighting readers with hope’s ongoing fulfillment."

Kirkus Reviews -- December 1, 2012

Knock Knock:

"Editor and short story writer McNear (Drought, 2009) sketches the life of her alter ego, March Rivers, from her mother's womb to the present day."

"McNear, an editor at Playboy in the magazine's heyday and a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin at the height of student unrest, has stories worth telling, and her kaleidoscopic, stream-of-consciousness style alternately engages and disorients. At her best, the author describes people and events in striking, original and funny ways."
