-Lauren S. Smith Editor for VBRN Ezine Articles.com

"Dying on the Edge has style! Craft gives a grand lesson in love, lust, and the power of persuasion. Craft is a good writer and a skilled storyteller. I appreciate her keen insight to religious complexity, vodoo culture, detective work, and her extremely rigorous and skilled research...I applaud Craft for her daring leap and her fierce courage to be original, fresh, and gutsy. Bravo!
