          SOUVENIR OF COLD SPRINGS
"It would be best if you just went and read the book now.... These people seem real, and their secrets seem possible.... Fascinating." ~Hartford Courant "The novel's achievement is that it presents several generations...with keen insight, tracing their specific eccentricities and shedding light on family dynamics in general.... Florey inhabits each character so fully that the reader settles into each new perspective with ease.... Readers might feel sorry to leave Florey's fictional family behind." ~Newsday FAMILY MATTERS "Written with sensitivity and skill, Family Matters displays an eye for telling detail combined with a wider vision of a character's place within her family, her community, her culture." ~ New York Times Book Review |
Open Road Media has issued seven of my backlist novels as e-books and print-on-demand paperbacks, available from all the usual places, including Amazon and B&N. These oldies but goodies have been hard to find except as overpriced used books, so I'm thrilled that Open Road — which specializes in reviving neglected backlists -- has stepped in and done such a wonderful job of reissuing them. They are also available as audiobooks via audible.com. SOLOS CHEZ CORDELIA REAL LIFE SOUVENIR OF COLD SPRINGS THE GARDEN PATH FAMILY MATTERS VIGIL FOR A STRANGER DUET (my favorite) is available as an e-book, and two (unjustly!) obscure novels, FIVE QUESTIONS and THE SLEEP SPECIALIST, can still be found on Amazon. A FEW QUOTES FROM REVIEWS AND COMMENTS SOLOS "Entanglements abound in this utterly charming tale of unlikely love. With a nod to its palindrome title and chapter headings, Florey's smart, funny romance can be summed up in one word: WOW!" ~Booklist "Kitty Burns Florey seems to write from a great wellspring of inner calm that derives from a gleeful appreciation of life's smallest details. Solos is utterly engrossing." ~Richard Russo, author of Empire Falls DUET "This story of obsessive love [is] a very appealing tale." ~ Publishers Weekly VIGIL FOR A STRANGER "A chilling, eloquent novel that draws you in with mystery and holds you there with love, obsession, failure, insanity, and an enchanting hybrid of past and present." ~ Kirkus Reviews REAL LIFE "Florey's fourth novel offers warm humor laced with a range of emotional nuance that does justice to her appealing characters." ~Publishers Weekly CHEZ CORDELIA "Humor and honesty ... poignant and affection ... this novel works!" ~ Washington Post-- |
