Devil's Name by Lori B. Duff
"A tension-ramping nail-biter of a novel! Duff delivers taut pacing and tightrope suspense in this timely, moving legal thriller. The high-stakes case blends a powerful sense of immediacy with small-town prejudice, making it impossible to put the book" Read more of this review »
Devil's Hand by Lori B. Duff
"What stayed with me most was the uncertainty surrounding Susan Wolan. The visible evidence of abuse immediately earns her sympathy, yet the story never allows either Jessica Fischer or the reader to settle into easy assumptions. That tension between " Read more of this review »

“The satisfaction of a balanced general ledger made her smile. Life was messy. Accounting was not.”
Lori B. Duff, Devil's Defense: A Fischer at Law Novel

“Even the vegetables weren’t vegetarian, having spent the better part of a day boiling in a bath of fatback. Still, as long as you didn’t mind your meat breaded and crisp and you kept the whole thing a secret from your cardiologist, it all was delicious.”
Lori B. Duff, Devil's Defense: A Fischer at Law Novel

“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes...you're Doing Something.”
Neil Gaiman

“A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called "leaves") imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time ― proof that humans can work magic.”
Carl Sagan

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
Elizabeth Appell

“Money can't buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you're being miserable.”
Clare Boothe Luce

“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
