- Keep Library Journal said "Death's Autograph" was "A highly recommended first novel. Kirkus Reviews said it was "lucid, irony-edged, unfussy narration makes antique-book lore interesting even to the uninitiated, and her charmingly off-beat heroine is a character most readers will want to hear from again." (See these and several more editorial reviews of this novel at Amazon [1]). "Blood Lies" got several editorial reviews. "Die once" got several favorable editorial reviews [2]. "Ghost walk" got favorable editorial reviews [3]. So did "Road Kill." [4]A biography of Macdonald is available from "Contemporary Authors". Coverage in specialized encyclopedias implies notability.
