Praise for EX-RAY

“Croxton does it again. This time she mixes her snarky humor with a story of abuse and a surprise discovery of new love. This out-of-the-box tale of payback satisfies the desire we all have to see justice for all. A terrific story I won't soon forget from a writer who always comes through.”

~Velda Brotherton, author of Once There Were Sad Songs

“Claire Croxton addresses [life, love, and domestic violence] with a combination of blunt force, graphic detail, an amazing sense of humor, and an adorable humility…. Her true talent, however, is translating Alaska to the rest of the world, particularly the fabled North Slope: The place, the people, the problems faced by every community, and an indigenous culture dragged…into the Western world. EX-RAY is not just a page-turning romance/thriller about domestic violence, but evocatively shows how minorities are abused spouses of a dominant culture. Somewhere between enthralled, shocked, turned-on, laughing out loud, and, dare I say, educated…. I couldn't stop reading (like all of Croxton's work), and can't wait for more.”

~Jack Dalton, Alaska Native storyteller and playwright

“In Maggie Shaw, Claire Croxton has created a flesh-and-blood character as real as your best friend. Set against the isolation of arctic Alaska, EX-RAY is a fresh and suspenseful look at a woman’s struggle to overcome the demons of her past. Filled with pathos and pain, humor, and at times horror, Croxton’s latest is, at its heart, a story about starting over, learning to trust again, and daring to hope.”

~M.G. Miller, author
