"Shining City is simply
pedal-to-the-metal fun -- sassy and knowing and irreverant. It's
too much of all those things to be pigeonholed as 'summer reading,' but
if you have room for only one entertainment this summer, let Shining
City be it."
Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World - 7/6/08
"Very funny -- Readers will be
seduced by the combination of narrative skill, speed and sharp-pointed
wit."
Richard Rayner, Los Angeles Times Book Review - 7/6/08
77"He's a satirist who takes glee
in the disconnect between our familiar, sunny city and the desperate
times in which we live. His tone is infectious. What else
can we do but laugh."
Laurie Winer, Los Angeles Times Magazine - 7/6/08

Greenland
Written By, June
'08 issue of the magazine of the Writer's Guild of America
Shining City: "It's like
Weeds with sex."
Penthouse Magazine
Shining City: “Rarely do
novels that are so
ruthlessly satiric have such a warm
heart. Greenland achieves a deft balance between the preposterous
and
the plausible.”
Kirkus starred review
Shining City: “Uproarious… Greenland's novel is entertaining and intelligent, and packed with enough hooks (and hookers) to keep readers sucked in to the last page.”
