Vanguardian

"A beauty of noble heritage... a powerful duke with hidden motives... beings from another world... danger and intrigue. I picked up this book and could not put it down. Vanguardian is an astounding achievement." - Michael McConnell, editor of NYT bestsellers, including Homesick for Another World and Eileen, winner of the Man Booker Prize

"A Spirited and Proficiently Written Debut That Has My Mouth Hung Open like the Catch Of The Day: S.N. Petro (aka The Clerk) released the first three chapters from her upcoming novel, The Warrior From Monde recently through social media. Noticing immediately the high class and well-written form of the piece, I knew that I wasn't dealing with the likes of any amateur writer. I wouldn't even feel comfortable using the term amateur to describe such a work." - Eric May, author of The Will's Downfall Saga and Owner/Operator of The Grim Tower

"You paint a wonderfully visual story, sista!" - Member of Black Science Fiction Society

"The writing has a dramatic, old-world feel, especially in the way it handles estates, soldiers, rank, gossip, and public reputation. The prose lingers on appearances and formal gestures, but I came to see that as part of the book's texture. This isn't a minimalist story." - Thomas Anderson, Literary Titan
