What the Critics Say... "Kate Danley has served up a female lead character to fill the gap that the ending of Buffy the Vampire Slayer left in the world of sci-fi/fantasy." -Twisting the Lens "If urban fantasy could be bottled, then this story is a shot-glass full of awesomesauce." -Dark Side of the Covers "Five Stars - The Woodcutter is a must read for both the lover of fantasy and mystery." -Reader Views "Five Stars - I had a glorious time reading this book. I truly couldn’t put it down. The climax of this story was truly heart-stopping" - Akamai Reader "Kate Danley's unprintable fairy godmother is beyond hysterical" -LA Times "RECOMMENDED - The show's comic timing is so tight you could time a murder to it, with lusciously campy acting turns from Danley's tongue-waggling hag of a guardian angel." - LA Weekly “If you love those great old screwball comedies from Hollywood’s Golden Era of the 1930s, you will love Building Madness. The plot is straight-forward fun, and what author Danley does with it is rich.“ -Tolucan Times "The writing is sharp, with lots of great jokes and witty comments flying between the characters" -Theatre Bath UK "The writing is taut and fun and engaging. You always wonder where things will go next. The pace is brisk and the dialogue is peppered with funny miscommunications and misunderstandings... I dare you to try not to laugh out loud.” -Martyn Martello |
