Brief Reviews: Cold Toast by Kathryn Aldridge-Morris
It’s a surprise to find that Kathryn Aldridge-Morris’ stories were not conceived as a collection from the beginning, they are that cohesively tight and interwoven.
Brief Reviews of New or New(ish) Books
…in which NFFR suggests some summer reading for you by Patricia Q. Bidar, Lorette C. Luzajic, Keith J. Powell, and Robert Shapard, with hopefully more recommendations to follow (in the coming dog days).
