In Sleepless Tides, by Virginia Young, it is impossible for the reader to avoid rooting for the union of both protagonists despite their evident differences and uneasiness with one another. Virginia, once again, has molded her characters with precision, compassion, and sensitivity to their being. Her strong writing style, detailed descriptors, and impecable dialogue allows the reader to imagine the characters as real live persons sitting in the same room drinking coffee and conversing. Virginia has managed to transmit her love of that area of Maine with sights, smells, colors and fine tuned descriptions. As a result, it is easy for the reader to transport him/herself to the pages of the book as a bystander and observer. This is the third book I have read by Virginia Young and I anxiously await a fourth. She is a superb writer that keeps getting better and bett Teresa Mascarenhas Sleepless Tides Transports The Reader To Maine

Richard Standring (not related to my family) is a compelling storyteller. His characters are the disenfranchised and the walking wounded, but they are alive with intelligence and integrity. I found myself turning page after page, eager to know what happened next. The simplicity of his storytelling enhances the journey into the lives of people we often overlook. It's a refreshment that educates. Suzette Martinez Standring Syndicated Columnist for GateHouse

Kathy Handley is a writer of fierce dedication and compassion, one who knows that the lifeblood of story is character, that fiction eddies from the artful confluence of character and place. The result is prose of grace and empathy. Bruce Machart author of The Wake of Forgiveness

Stephanie at Riverhaven Books has removed the mystery from publishing and promotion. She guided me through the process with answers to my questions and brilliant ideas. After a world of love and envy: short stories, flash fiction and poetry, we'll tackle my novel, Birds of Paradise. I look forward to a long and successful working relationship with her. Thanks, Stephanie and Riverhaven. Kathy Handley author - a world of love and envy

Riverhaven Books is a fairly new company, but the level of professionalism is fantastic - they reach out to take care of every detail and the final product is concise, attractive, and very reasonably priced - so much less than other options. Virginia Young author - Out of the Blue
