Praise for Sheldon Cohen, M.D.

"A medically accurate, exciting murder mystery. Sheldon Cohen has written a riveting story where a murder suspect's world becomes a part of a jigsaw puzzle involving organized crime, the police, malpractice lawyers, physicians and assassins."  - Clifford J. Harris, M.D.


Praise for Anthony Walker, M.D.

"This sexually and emotionally frank account realistically captures the characteristically intense appeals and disillusionments that can be expected in a relationship with someone who has [borderline personality disorder]…. This book is an important statement that will enhance public consciousness about a disorder that is universally recognized and widely discussed within mental health circles…. Alongside the movie Fatal Attraction, the book and movie Girl, Interrupted, and the psycho-biographical accounts of the borderline personality traits found in Princess diana and Marilyn Monroe, [Siren's Dance] can titillate even as it teaches." 

- John G. Gunderson, M.D. from the Foreword

"A vivid story of love, romantic rescue, and the painful limits of compassion. Dr. Walker successfully transforms the experience of his tortured marriage into an important book about the impact of borderline personality disorder on human hope and caring."

  - Richard Schwartz, M.D., author: Marriage in Motion; assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

Praise for Gwendoline Fortune

"Gwen Fortune lights up a niche of the American experience which has hitherto been in the dark. And she does so in a way that is both meaningful and exciting, making this a landmark novel."

-Robert Grover, author of A Hundred Dollar Misunderstanding   

"Gwen Fortune takes us on an important journey in her debut novel, Growing Up Nigger Rich. It is a journey that will engage and enrich us."

-Susan Koppelman, editor, Women in the Trees:
U.S. Women's Stories about Battering and Resistance 

"An important book because it forces us to confront the nature of stereotypes. The 'other' is always one-dimensional. How can we allow diversity, when that would mean the 'other' is just like us?"

-Judith Ernst, publisher, Parvardigar Press

"An excellent window into the largely unseen complexities of Southern life… [that reminds] us of just how much more change is needed in the hearts and minds of both North and South, both male and female, both poor and 'nigger rich.'"

-R. Steve Eberly, professor of literature/Western Carolina University

"An important Southern story, seldom told--illuminating, memorable, necessary."

-Lee Smith, fiction writer and author of Oral History
