Reba Birmingham
“A fun LGBTQ fantasy. From our world to the faerie world, this book doesn’t disapoint. I enjoyed the sweetness of the married couple (and their finding of cryptic invitations to a place called the Hercynian Forest) and the humor scattered throughout. Oh yes, and the elves. who doesn’t love elves? I highly recommend this one and look forward to delving into the next! 5.0 out of 5 stars Tammy S. Bird

Sandra de Helen
“Poetry for everyone–even those who don’t read poetry. … I found this collection hard to put down. De Helen’s poems refuse to obey the rules or use their inside voices. By turns pointed, acerbic, poignant, angry, and pensive, the author’s poetic voice is always strong and palpable. There is something for anyone who is engaged in the people’s struggle here, and for everyone who has ever suffered or celebrated the paradoxical ironies of life, which is to say, everyone who is paying attention. Sandra de Helen and her poetry are a force to be reckoned with. 5.0 out of 5 stars Review by Sandra Anfang

Linda M. Vogt
“Intriguing New Mystery One of the things I noticed right away about No Thru Road is that I kept turning the pages. I was involved from the beginning. There are lots of books to choose from, and, as an avid reader, I want to be connected from the start. I was. The characters were variously intriguing and compelling. I cared about what happened to them. I would like to know more about the aunt—some nuggets given but more to know. Perhaps in the next book? The possible solutions were clearly explored, keeping my attention. The author’s sprinkling of humor throughout was a plus, a conduit to so much that might otherwise have been unknown. Congratulations to Linda Vogt—well done! 5.0 out of 5 stars Gail

“In tristen Zeiten eine Aufmunterung Stilistisch sehr gut verfasst, angenehm zu lesen. Ab und an war mir die HeileWeltErzählung etwas zu viel, aber diese liebenswerten Personen haben mir über die kleinen Tiefs beim Lesen geholfen (sehr wenige, sehr kleine Tiefs), da änderten auch die eingestreuten Schicksalsschläge nichts- es blieb bei heiler Welt. Und diese ist ein toller Kontrast zu dem, was wir gerade in Realität vorfinden, so dass das Herz sich endlich einmal erholen konnte, vielen Dank dafür. 5.0 out of 5 stars jelängerjeälter
