PRAISE: "The stories in WEST OF YOU are at once deeply personal yet universal. The tales cut across genres. The cast of characters includes a transvestite Native American boy, an abused girl evolving into a serial killer, average folks trapped in a dystopian future, and a rancher facing monsters in a roadside canyon. Her prose often pulls the reader into worlds very far away, but inside us all." -- Frank Mullen Jr., author "The Donner Party Chronicles" THE WAR WITH CANADA was selected by Patrick Gale and published in the "The Bridport Prize 2012: the Winners" (http://www.bridportprize.org.uk/) also available on Amazon.
