Larry McMurtry recommends

Bigfoot Dreams (1986) Francine Prose "One of our finest writers... She is deft and deep, and the fun she has here with popular culture is wonderful."	Boomerang / Never Die (1993) Barry Hannah "The best fiction writer in the South since Flannery O'Connor."	Private Altars (1995) Katherine Mosby "A beautiful first novel."
Eden (1997) Frederic Bean "Well-paced, readable, vivid."	Moloka'i (2003) Alan Brennert "A moving story - a vivid picture of Hawaii before it became the Touristland it is today."	Texas Gold (2004) Tim McGuire "Tim McGuire writes a good western, the story fast-paced, the characters vividly drawn."
The Weight of Smoke (2006) (In the Land of Whispers, book 1) George Robert Minkoff "[The Weight of Smoke is] an excellent evocation of the beginnings of the Jamestown Colony. And, in a broader sense, it is a story of the Europeans encountering full-face the might of the American wilderness and the peoples who inhabited it."	Texas Cowboys (2009) Tim McGuire "Writes a good Western."	The Bridge At Valentine (2010) Renée Thompson "The Bridge At Valentine is very original and very appealing, Renée Thompson has an angle of attack that is all her own."
Lime Creek (2011) Joe Henry "A wonderful book."
