 From the Beaufort Gazette's review of Dead Weight.
"Humphreys.. sees to it that no moss clings to the Charleston murder story. He reveals it to be a Shakespearean love story for the accused.. And through a fictitious New York City reporter who falls in with a beautiful woman and a little hustler from the Jenkins Orphanage, the tale strays well beyond court transcripts. It's not every book that includes a torrid cemetery scene, but somehow it fits the flirtatious grande dame we still know and love as Charleston. The scenarios are as true to the Lowcountry as alligators sunning on rice dikes and the clearly defined racial boundaries that survived the Civil War."more...

 From The Folly Current's review of The Humours of Folly
"The Humours of Folly is a brilliant work of photography and poetry, whose journey gives birth to smiles, laughter, revelation, and redemption. Every page is sprinkled with a magic that can rejuvenate the heart of anyone with a passion for this island. In a time where Folly Beach may seem to be stumbling in the dark for direction, Frank Melvin Braden and Ellie Maas Davis remind us with their enchanting images and prose that Folly is more than a zip code: it is a living, breathing creature whose life is chronicled in the seasons; whose charm is in her demand to color outside the lines. It is a reminder to step back, slow down and reach into the soul of Folly in order to reconnect it to our own"more...

 From Charleston Mercury's review of Reefer Moon
"From his outpost on Daufuskie Island, a partially developed Lowcountry jewel, Roger Pinckney spins a tale about Sea Island tomatoes, pot smuggling, voodoo, lovemakin’ and the ancient pull of moonlight. His characters interact in a world where nature still holds the aces, but Pinckney is a not a traditional American naturalist. Pinckney’s natural world is in peril and it is up to human beings to stop other human beings from destroying it. Pinckney is a conservationist writer on many levels. It is not only the natural assets of coastal South Carolina and Georgia that Pinckney seeks to preserve, but also the wildness of man." more...
