"Lori
Van Pelt handles words with the precision and
delicacy of a surgeon. Add PECKER'S REVENGE to
that list of books you'll take with you to a
desert island." Former WWA
president and Spur Award-winning author, Loren D.
Estleman, author of THE UNDERTAKER'S
WIFE.
"Crisp
writing, coupled with clever twists, make PECKER'S
REVENGE the finest collection of short stories to
come along in years. Lori Van Pelt, without
doubt, is one of the country's finest
storytellers."--WC Jameson, past
president of Western Writers of America, and
author of BEATING THE DEVIL.
"In a time when
short story markets are few and far between and
short story writing seems a lost art Lori Van
Pelt is a breath of fresh air. Whatever
made her turn her talents to the short fiction
form we should all be grateful she did. I
bought two of her stories for my anthologies
because I found her to be a talented writer as
well as a compelling and evocative story
teller. I think you'll agree with me
when you've read this collection." Robert J. Randisi, editor of WHITE HATS
and BLACK
