Laurie Alberts

Goodnight Silky Sullivan

"...deadeye characterization and lucid prose...Alberts' subtle imagination and voice make for a poignant, resonant collection." --
Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Laurie Alberts is a writer who can take you to near and far places and make those various places (and the people in them) shine and pulse with real life. With a wonderful combination of high energy and honest modesty, Alberts writes in clear strong sentences that do not come between the reader and her thoroughly imagined, credible world of fiction. Goodnight Silky Sullivlan is a collection to celebrate, a book to cherish."
-- George Garrett
