Interviews and Articles

“She’s just…gah, she’s so cool. I’ve always had a soft spot for heist stories, and especially in a universe that’s crowded with superpowered people, it’s a fun challenge to write about someone who doesn’t have a lot of those abilities at her disposal. Felicia’s got to be more thoughtful about how she pulls off her jobs, and that means teamwork. Her team is the best. Also, she’s bi, which spoke to me on a personal level. I appreciate so much about her, and had to make a play to write her book.” – Cath Lauria

Reviews

Secrets & Sacrifices is not only one of the best Call of Cthulhu novels I’ve read in a very long time, I would go so far as to say it’s a masterful piece of Lovecraftian horror that demonstrates the direction that the genre should be heading.”
SciFi and Fantasy Reviewer

“Cath Lauria mixes horror, mystery, and romance in a fun and engaging recipe. Secrets and Sacrifices’ own special blend is heavy on the mystery, dashes of horror, and an undercurrent of romance that ties it all together.”
