Praise for Wanted and Kim Wozencraft:

"This is writing so powerful it will blow you away. Kim Wozencraft's characters step right off the page as living, breathing people, in a slam-bang thriller that doesn't let up until the final page."
- Tess Gerritsen, author of The Sinner

"A perceptive character study of two troubled souls on the lam, Wanted is unpredictable and absorbing. Kim Wozencraft sure knows how to craft a crime novel."
- Perri O'Shaughnessy, author of Presumption of Death

"Wanted is a top-notch read from a first-rate author. Kim Wozencraft has what it takes to go all the way. She writes like an angel carrying a .45 Magnum, and Wanted is a twin turbo of a novel. It should come with seat belts. Kim Wozencraft is back, with a vengeance."
- Keith Ablow, author of Murder Suicide

"Thelma and Louise are a couple of schoolgirls next to the pair of heroines who tear through Kim Wozencraft's Wanted. A high-speed emotional thriller that grabs you from the start, it's also a white-hot indictment of what passes for justice in the United States---where crooked cops, malicious prosecutors, and a dystopian bureaucracy destroy more lives than all the drugs on the street. Gail and Diane's desperate bid to outrun the shock troops of a sociopathic society is at once terrifying, exhilarating, and inspirational. These are two powerful women refusing to bow down to the tin god of jurisprudence gone insane. You'll never stop rooting for them."
- Ian Spiegelman, author of Everyone's Burning

Praise for Rush:
"Harrowing authenticity . . . The writing is quite good, the dialogue pungent and true."
- The New York Times Book Review on Rush

"Written with the brisk, torchy compulsion of a thriller . . . Her lean, athletic prose is matched by the lucid speed and economy of the narrative."
- Washington Post Book World on Rush
