Reviews for "Where the River Splits"

“The journey to the end of the novel is never boring. The scenes set in rural Wyoming feature the geography as much as the characters. Locales in Canada and Mexico also figure into the plot. Still, the story keeps coming back to St. Louis, which should add to its appeal for local readers.”
– Steve Weinberg, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Carries you effortlessly to the climax.– Robin Theiss, past president of the St. Louis Writers Guild and STLBooks owner.

As an experienced broacasat producer, I think this book would make an excellent movie script!– Dan Dillion, TV producer, So, Where’d You Go To High School? The Baby Boomer Edition

A solidly written and well-structured thriller. That’s no small achievement. – John Dalton, Heaven Lake: A Novel Winner of the Barnes & Noble Discover Award

I’ve won several short fiction awards, including writing awards from the St. Louis Writers Guild, and Writer’s Digest. My work has appeared in the US, UK, and Canada, and my creative nonfiction was nominated for a Pushcart Prize.
