The Button Collector is out of print but still in select libraries!
The Button Collector went out of print at the end of 2018 when PageSpring Publishing closed up shop. It's difficult for small presses to exist in 2019, and I'll always be grateful to Lynn Bartels and Rebecca Seum, who did such an amazing job bringing my book to life--button sketches and all!!!
My book is still in some libraries and can be found here and there. For more information, read my blog on Read more of this blog post »

| I loved it. The idea was engaging and the plot well executed. It is feel good but it’s not syrupy and the characters have believable depth. Read it in a few days! | |

| While I did finally get drawn into the world of Wolf Hall, I was annoyed by the unnecessary ambiguity as to who the characters are and who is speaking. I get that it is by design. I just found it too presumptuous. At the same time, what an interestin ...more | |

| The book did hold my attention. I have to admit I missed the foreshadowing but still, the ending felt fake and the characters unrelatable. On the plus side, it’s a quick and easy read to see what the hype is about. | |

| One of my beach reads this summer, this story pulled me in and kept me engaged. At one point I was worried it might become too predictable, but it fooled me! It’s a quiet novel but moving and hopeful and often beautiful, similar in tone to many Anne ...more | |

Kristina Coop-a-Loop's review
of
A Discovery of Witches (All Souls, #1):
"This is an odd book. Now that I have finished reading it, I'm not sure why I was so enamored of it. With so much discussion of spells and enchantment, I wouldn't be surprised if the book put a spell on me. Despite overall enjoying the book, there are"

“She opened up the glass jar she kept spare buttons in and began sorting through them. It was like handling bits and pieces of the past—buttons from loved ones’ dresses and suits and coats carefully gathered up and saved for future use. She had inherited many of the buttons from her mother and grandmother, even her Great Aunt Maggie. Each woman adding to the collection, like curators of a family museum. Now what would happen to them?”

“It’s been four years, and it’s still impossible for me to believe at times. After all, it shouldn’t be possible, should it? It simply should not come to pass that the presence you’ve known since before your birth just disappears. The person who first held you, the person who got up in the night with you, who knew how to drive you to the edge of crazy and then bring you back to safety again … how can a person like that just be gone?”

“When I'm really into a novel, I'm seeing the world differently during that time— not just for the hour or so in the day when I get to read. I'm actually walking around in a haze, spellbound by the book and looking at everything through a different prism.”

“It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.”
