'Although the obvious targets for this book are people who use, or plan to use, dating sites, it is also valuable for those who want to make sense of the topic and better understand the social mores of modern dating. And beyond that, for those of us already in long term relationships, it is a great opportunity to reflect and realise that there is still plenty of room to improve.'

Thanks Queensland Reviewers Collective for this review of TEN WAYS TO FIND LOVE by Dr Lisa Portolan. Out today!

'Present Tense is a well-crafted crime thriller with added depth expressed through the impending transition from one political regime to another, the perpetual challenge of the personal versus the professional, and the tension between justice and revenge. It is indeed a very thoughtful and considered novel; and well recommended to all readers of crime fiction.'
