Otters In Space
on July 14, 2010
Fabulous! Cats and dogs and otters, and somehow this captures their very different personalities. Well, I've never actually met an otter...loads of fun, can't wait for more.

Ursa Major 2012 Short Fiction Reading Packet
on March 26, 2013
All five of these stories are up for the Ursa Major Short Fiction award for 2012. All five of them! And all five of them are a treat to read, from the very short whimsical Hot Chocolate for the Unicorn, to the heart-wrenching Magtwilla and the Mouse, to the third installment in the Shreddy series, Shreddy and the Christmas Ghost, to the two longer stories St Kalwain and the Lady Uta and A Night in Nocturnia, that each transport you to another time and place. Ms Lowd continues her superb writing, wonderful characters, and unmatched story-telling. Do yourself a favor, read them all.

Otters In Space 2: Jupiter, Deadly
on Aug. 25, 2013
A great read, with something for all ages - talking cats and dogs (and, of course, otters!), political intrigue, social issues, loads of fun and excitement. I love this series. Mary Lowd has done it again. I hope there is a third book (and maybe more)!!

When a Cat Loves a Dog
on May 19, 2014
Whether you read this as a straightforward story about a cat and a dog, an allegory for the world we live in now, or simply a story of love, longing, and persistence, you will find this to be a well-written, thoughtful, at times very funny, and at times gut-wrenching story that takes you places you did not expect to go. I cannot recommend it too highly.
