The Bookwrym
A fast-paced, entertaining tale which is at times wryly humorous, and at times touching. Perhaps the story carries a deeper meaning as well, one about the hectic pace of today and the need to sometimes sit back and reflect on our lives.

Affaire de Coeur
An absolutely marvelous tale of the realistic and the romantic, of the magical and the mundane. Ms. White's storytelling skill equals her imagination, and is surpassed only by her gift for drawing the reader into the heart of the story and the characters.John Hamilton
A Wizard Scorned, Ms. White's first fantasy novel, is a grand entry into the genre--one that has an absolutely unexpected ending. -- MilleniumThe Bookwrym

A Wizard Scorned is a vigorous tale. The story's humans are poignant in their need for a quest, a structure for their lives, a meaningfulness in the midst of a harsh frontier where magic and nature collide, and mere men can be crushed without effort. The wizards are full of frailties and pettiness. They, like the quarrelling gods of Homer's Iliad, set into motion great big wheels of causation, wheels that crush and maim.Hard Shell Word Factory has done it again. A Wizard Scorned is a supremely enjoyable read, and very hard to put down (I know, I tried). I mean, hard to shut down. (If electronic books become more prevalent, we're going to need a whole new set of metaphors to describe reading.)
