What people are saying about Twilight Times Books:

Alien Infection is a fine science fiction suspense thriller that the X-Files crowd will enjoy.
Reviewed by Harriet Klausner for Midwest Book Review Bookwatch.

[Angelos] "...In this sequel to Jerome and the Seraph, Williams tells a twofold tale of one priest stranded in the ancient labyrinth of Knossos and another struggling with his own search for holiness-with only a small but very unusual cat to guide them both. With its graceful hominess, quiet humor, and abiding faith, Angelos belongs in most fantasy, Christian fantasy, or New Age collections.
Library Journal.

"Toops' ability to capture the intoxicating mix of energy and danger that defined the early days of jazz makes Hudson Lake required reading for anyone caught up in the enduring Bix legend."
Bill Ott for Booklist.

"Hudson Lake is a vivid, poignant, sexy tale of the Jazz Age, built around one of America's greatest and most intriguing musicians. Laura Mazzuca Toops knows her music, and her history."
Reviewed by Kevin Baker, author of Dreamland.

[Nine Lives and Three Wishes] "This is an easily read tale certain to be reached for often for pleasure reading among the 11-15 year old set. Nine Lives and Three Wishes is an excellent choice for the home and school library. The tale will intrigue the 'read to set' as an older student mentor reads aloud to them. Nine Lives and Three Wishes will nicely do for the 'teacher' reading time in middle to upper grades during the 'quiet time' following the lunch recess and will be often read by youngsters.
Reviewed by molly martin for Midwest Book Review.

[The Elixir] Root's first novel tells a tale that both entertains and uplifts in its depiction of an engaging pair and the love that asserts itself as the true miracle. Light touches of the supernatural make this a suitable addition to large contemporary fantasy collections.

Praise for Monkey Trap
"The first volume in a projected trilogy presents a cast of convincing characters and a compellingly paced plot. Denning, the pseudonym of a father-daughter writing team, uses quick changes of scene and character-building flashbacks to create an sf adventure that combines hard science, mysticism, and alien contact. For most libraries." Library Journal.
