    “It’s not very often one gets to read a book that is a highly literary fantasy. The Snow Witch takes you beyond genre writing with delicate literary poise, while combining two worlds; one of mysticism and witchcraft, the other of startling realism… Edge of your seat all the way, the book is remarkably refreshing in this writer’s exploratory view of artistic presentation in modern fantasy.” – Karla Fetrow, book reviewer.
