"Hot, wrenching, and wise, this book is fantastic!" - Holly Black, author of Tithe and Ironside

I write stories about strange crows, Witches' Carnivals, and mushroom gods. My latest novel, Unleashed, deals with pets and monsters, truth and make-believe, trust and betrayal, all wrapped up in a werewolf love story.

Unleashed is coming February 2008 from Simon & Schuster. Here, you can read an excerpt, find out more about me, and follow the progress of other writing projects on my blog.

Thanks for stopping by.

"One of the most real, raw and beautiful YA books I've read. Seriously, go and get it. Run away to the Witches' Carnival and leave everything behind." - Holly Black, author of Tithe and Ironside

"The fast pace, earnest characters, and philosophical meanders kept me hooked from beginning to end." - Highly recommended by GLBT Fantasy

"Reisz didn't back away from the tough parts." - Bookslut

And one comment that wasn't intended as praise but made me happy anyway: "No one would say that any character in Tripping to Somewhere could serve as a moral role model." - The Trades
