“The lyricism and power of Paul Lindholdt’s evocative poems bring both the nature and culture of the American colonies to life in ways no history book ever could. A work of remarkable originality and insight, Making Landfall is a brilliant journey into the dark heart of our nation’s colonial past.”
—Michael P. Branch, author of Rants from the Hill and How to Cuss in Western
“The well-wrought poems in Paul Lindholdt’s Making Landfall speak in the many voices from America’s colonial frontiers. The personas include Native Americans, colonists both male and female, the poet, the outcast, the illicit lover, the persecuted, and the persecutor. Lindholdt’s notes offer a steady guide to the multitude of speakers in this deeply satisfying collection.”
—Priscilla Long, author of Crossing Over: Poems and Fire & Stone: Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?

This first book in the Elder Darrow, noir fiction series by Maine author, Richard J. Cass, kept me reading to find out whodunit! Set in nearby Boston, several of the characters travel into Maine near the end of the book. I am eager to learn what happens next in this fast-pace series.
This book grips you from the discovery of the first victim to the final kill. Outstanding writing and characterization.”
A great action-packed mystery with awesome characters. This is the first book I have read by this author but I will definitely have to go back and read some of those – like book 1 and book 2.
