Story Behind The Book

Reviews

PRAISE FOR: &quot;AS THE TWIG IS BENT&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Aside from having the most beautiful cover I have ever seen on a book, the story itself matches perfectly. As excellent a murder mystery as I have ever read, and I have read the greats!&quot; --Vahan Gregory, noted playwright &amp; sculptor, Beverly Hills, CA<br /><br /><br />&quot;Characters with substance; crisp, authentic dialogue; and a plot with more twists and turns than a giant slalom. Kept me on the edge of my seat right up until the shocking end.&quot;<br />--Bob Walker, former CEO Promotion Mechanics, Inc., a Division of Ogilvy &amp; Mather Advertising, NYC<br /><br /><br /><div class="emptyClear"></div>
