SWORD-EDGED BLONDE

"[A] well-crafted gem of a tale."--"Library Journal" on "The Sword-Edged Blonde
""Incorporating elements from both hard-boiled mystery and heroic fantasy, Bledsoe's genre-blending first novel is both stylish and self-assured: Raymond Chandler meets Raymond E. Feist."--"Publishers Weekly" (starred review) on "The Sword-Edged Blonde
""Bledsoe has written a compelling story with fascinating characters--who are so witty and whose attitude is so wry that I laughed and cared."--Orson Scott Card on "The Sword-Edged Blonde
"""The Sword-Edged Blonde" has all the finesse and depth of a great hard-boiled mystery, but takes place in a fully realized heroic fantasy setting. From start to finish, it's a treat for readers of either genre, and easily one of the better books I've had the pleasure of reading this year. Don't miss this one."--Charles de Lint
""The Sword-Edged Blonde" is a new twist on an old theme and a genuinely fun read."--David Drake, author of "Lord of the Isles
""Sam Spade with a sword: utterly unique, often hilarious and with moments of great heart, "The Sword-Edged Blonde" serves up a damned good read."--Virginia Baker, author of "Jack Knife"
