"Bagley's got the poet's eye, but that doesn't mean everything is prettier in his work. It means the ugly stuff is more vivid. More intense. Like a sudden switch from analog to HD. And that's a trait to very much admire in his work." --Anthony Neil Smith, author of Hogdoggin', Yellow Medicine, The Drummer and Psychosomatic
"When you talk about writers who are right there on the cusp of getting published and earning wider recognition, then Patrick Shawn Bagley's name is right there near the top of the list." --Brian Lindenmuth, Bookspot Central
A Good Day for Sophie
Sophie Littlefield's debut novel,
A Bad Day for Sorry, has garnered positive reviews from both
Kirkus Reviews and
Publishers Weekly.
Kirkus says, "First-timer Littlefield creates characters with just the right quirks who charm even in the face of unrealistic plot turns."
A Bad Day for Sorry is coming in August from Thomas Dunne/St. Martin's Minotaur ($24.95). Watch for it.

i've been fortunate to read an advance copy, p. not only is this a tight crime tale, but people are going to thank God somebody finally had the brass to shoot the intrepid sleuthing female cliches in the back of the head.
