Reviews
The Lighthouse Society by Jerry Graffam - "In this promising debut novel by Jerry Graffam, the dark side of Maine shines through - not vacation land at all, but a place of sinister plots and chilling secrets.”
Tess Gerritsen - New York Times Bestselling author of The Bone Garden, Harvest, and the Rizzoli & Isles series of novels.
Parodies of the Fall by Thomas Grissom - "Grissom looks us in the eye and courageously walks us through those windows into the most intimate recesses of his extremely fascinating soul".
Bill Ransom - Poet and Novelist
867-5309 Jenny by Alex Call - "Alex drives his story straight through the heart of rock & roll."
Huey Lewis - Huey Lewis and the News
The Lighthouse Society by Jerry Graffam - "Tightly written and fast paced, Graffam captures the sense of mystery that often surrounds the dark waters of the Maine coast. And don't mind that shadowy figure by the lighthouse. It's probably nothing. Probably."
Angus King - US Senator - Maine
