From Publisher's Weekly:
"...calls to mind the wild satires of Fay Weldon...recalls the work of Alix Kates Shulman."
Excerpts of reviews from Amazon Vine reviewers:
"This is written with very good imagery and descriptiveness. I love the writing style, the author gets your attention right from the beginning."
"A very well written piece of work...A very good story indeed."
"This story has an interesting premise, that of a woman whose husband dies, and who doesn't seem that upset about it. There is the mystery of why she feels that way and the second chapter begins to tell that story. I liked the writing and the way the author talks about what Alice is thinking, even some of the mundane things."
"Compelling, sparse prose."
From R. Boehm:
"Well written. Kept me reading, kept me wanting to find out exactly what, if anything, Alice had to do with her husband's death. I liked how the story evolved. How the author takes you back to the beginning and creates the basis for the question in your mind about Alice's involvement in her husband's death."
Thanks to all who have reviewed my novel!
And to new readers, I hope you enjoy it. :)

Second Edition - Emancipating Alice
Now that all the contests are over, I'd like to thank all my advanced copy readers, reviewers, bloggers, giveaway winners--all who read Emancipating Alice in its first incarnation.
This post is to let everyone know that the book is going through editing yet again, and a second edition will be released sometime in July both electronically and in print, and has a snazzy new cover to mark it. ;)
I don't have an exact release date as the manuscript is still with an editor, and will probably go through another once I've implemented changes, but July is when I'd like to be done with it so I can fully move on to the next project (currently a collection of short stories).
In the meantime, I am also considering a spin-off story involving Miriam (George's sister).
Depending on how everything goes with the second edition and the collection, I might move on to more 'commercial' endeavors altogether! :)
