Locus Review: Blood and Talent

“Boyd spins out a powerful and emotionally fraught story that involves the secrets and trauma haunting two fami­lies. Along the way, Boyd explores the complexities of friendship and love, and the conflicting loyalties that can exist within, and between, families.” — Maria Haskins, Locus

What a wonderful surprise to discover writer Maria Haskins’ lovely review of my Wild West murder mystery, “Blood and Talent,” in Locus.

I’m not sure how I missed this when the review ran back in March, but having my work highlighted by this publication has been on my professional bucket list for a while. Many thanks to Haskins, as well as Cast of Wonders editorial team Katherine Inskip and Alicia Caporaso for giving the story a fantastic home. 

Huzzah!
