"We all lose someone to death sometime. That knowledge does not really help with the grief, though.
Words of comfort can... the kind that Ashland's Susanne Severeid offers in her book When Someone You Love is Dying.
Her own experience with her husband's death inspired Severeid to provide the book of prose and nature photographs. She visits with details of the project and highlights from the book." --JPR

"Absolutely fabulous! Intelligent and, in terms of police expertise and investigation, right on target...gives a revealing position of the sad truth at times existing in American justice. Severeid has done her homework well."
~Stan Nelson, former detective/Police Commissioner, LAPD/DEA
"Superb and extremely engaging. A great book. I am in awe of how the plot is so well thought out and holds together."
~ Phyllis Karas, author, The Onassis Women, Street Soldier, and Brutal: The Untold Story of My Life Inside Whitey Bulger's South Boston Mob
"I couldn't put it down. A sexy and suspense-filled read. For her first literary novel, Susanne Severeid has definitely mastered the art of suspense."
~Laurel Druley, reviewer, KNAU-NPR Public Radio
"In a brilliant style of gripping suspense, Severeid unveils the masks of evil in high society which only her courage and humanity redeems...a literary triumph."
~ Benjamin Herson, author, Journey of a Soul
"...I loved it. Susanne Severeid has churned out a tasty little mystery, with all the Grafton-esque hooks that keep the pages turning. Milly dumps you into the deep end of Southern California's sleaze and doesn't toss you a life preserver. While the book is clever and funny, it's fairly gritty, too, and keeps the punches--and surprises--coming right from the first few pages. Just load on the sunblock; once you start reading, you'll lose track of time.
~ POD-DY Mouth, Blog Review
" Beautifully written...from the opening pages, Severeid's book promises fun and intrigue; a book everyone, not just mystery lovers, will find a treat to read."
~ Greta Manville, Coordinator, Arizona Authors Assn Awards
"A fine novel. 'Milly' grabs your attention from the start, with well-crafted characters, a plot that twists and turns, and a conclusion that satisfies."
~ Karen Hanen, Art Beat, KONP Radio
