REVIEWS

M. J. Holt gave a five-star review on Amazon. "Alternative Truths is a delightful anthology of political satire. Put together in Trump’s first 100 days from inception to publication, it has achieved far more positive things than the misbegotten administration. The stories range from the comic relief and wish fulfillment to frightening, dramatic stories of where Trump’s ICE and other agencies could take us in an almost worst scenario..... Alternative Truths mixes more light-hearted stories with the doom. Diana Hauer’s “The Trumperor and the Nightingale,” is a fairy tale, with all the bad parts that make the good parts better. In “As Prophesied of Old,” by Susan Murrie Macdonald, Trump visits Great Britain (Queen Elizabeth II should read this one), and while the lowliest lowly in Parliament are called on to comment, someone shakes off the dirt and… no spoilers. Adam-Troy Castro’s “Q&A,” and Jim Wright’s “President Trump, Gettysburg, November 19, 1863” provide many good laughs and guffaws as they use Trump’s own words in these gems of snark and satire. There are many other good stories, but what fun would that be for you if I summarized this smart book like Trump did the deed? Read it and enjoy.... Smart, witty stories are going to help us get through this.

Elizabeth Ann Scarborough, author of the Songkiller series, said on Facebook, "Susan, I got a kick out of the British political take on the Trump as well. They had a tone similar to a lot of scientists studying a particularly odious insect."

Donna J. Whistler gave R is for Renaissance Faire a five star review. "Love the pictures. I'd rather see real people than artwork when it comes to Ren Faire. Good book for kids to learn about history and something that they can do today that is fun and exciting. Good job."

An anonymous buyer on Amazon also gave R is for Renaissance Faire five stars. "A joyful book with tongue-in-cheek humor, a perfect introduction to the Faire and those who help create the Faire from a writer whose affection for the institution is obvious, and whose ability to communicate said affection to young people is right on target. Five huzzahs!"
