A Gangster’s Grip is the second novel by Heather Burnside, the first, Slur, is reviewed here and her book of short stories, Crime, Conflict and Consequences, here.

At the end of my review for that, which you […]
American Goddesses is a fun idea that had for me the feel of a comic or graphic novel because of its storyline.
