Paul Wingfield, tutor for admissions of Trinity College, University of Cambridge, left a praising remark on her first novel Pearly Gates Beyond Our Universe (originally called Parallel Universe with Time in Front of Ours), saying that “We greatly enjoyed reading your book on ‘Parallel Universe with Time in Front of Ours’, which we thought showed signs of real scholarly promise and ability.” death'o'toddl'r, her newest novel, brings “distortionism” to a climax.
