"...extend the lazy days of summer by reading the best of the chick lit mysts..." Washington Post "A perfect book for beach reading." Queens Chronicle "...hot as the weather...Sofie Metropolis [is] such a treat." Marcia Abramsom, Detroit Free Press & Knight Ridder "Summer brings with it a cornucopia of lazy-days literature. Spadework recommends..Sofie Metropolis." San Diego Union-Tribune "I knew for sure that this was my kind of book when Sofie read one of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels during the story. A chick-lit detective who reads detective novels - that's almost perfect... I'm looking forward to a sequel to find out what happens next." 9/18/05 Rachael Mason, Gwinnett Daily Post Lynne Welch rings in with a NoveList review of Sofie Metropolis! "Great characterization, especially of ethnic family dynamics and expectations, add charm and humor to this romp reminiscent of Stephanie Plum at her most wacky and wonderful." Who's Sofie Metropolis? And what did she do to deserve a two-page special feature in the June issue of Romantic Times BookClub? As Tony would say, "holy sheet!" You could have knocked us over with a feather when Carol Stacy pulled us aside not five minutes after we'd registered for the RT convention in St. Louis to show us the generous, fantabulous piece put together using an interview conducted by fellow author and pal Michele Bardsley. We'd thought maybe, maybe, we'd rate a brief mention in the wildly popular mag. We never anticipated this! And while we're not entirely sure what we did to deserve it (every author believes her book rates at least a two-page feature, and she's probably right), we offer up our most heartfelt thanks to Michele, managing editor Tara Gelsomino, Carol Stacy and, of course, Kathryn Falk herself. We're truly humbled...and majorly psyched! Local 13ABC morning new anchor extraordinaire Rebecca Regnier put together a special bit for summer reading, and right up front and center is none other than SOFIE, along with fellow MVRWA member and Tor author Elizabeth Vaughan's first book War Prize!
