Laurel Blossom has ceased writing book reviews in order to devote herself full-time to her own work. Among her last book reviews were reviews of Rusty Morrison's "the true keeps calm biding its story"
(American Book Review, May/June 2010) and four reviews in
Pleiades 30.1 (2010). Some earlier reviews include reviews of Elizabeth Friedmann's
A Mannered Grace: The Life of Laura (Riding) Jackson (
American Book Review July/August 2005,
Drift Ice by Jennifer Atkinson (
Pleiades, Volume 29, number 1, 2009), and
House Held Together by Winds by Sabra Loomis (
American Book Review online, March/April 2009).
An excerpt from her anonymous
Publishers Weekly review of Albert Goldbarth's
Marriage and Other Science Fiction appeared as a blurb on the book jacket.
