M.A. Harper

Works

For The Love of Robert E. Lee
"...Lee is no stranger to novels...[appearing] in works as disparate as The Killer Angels and Traveller. M. A. Harper offers the best portrait of Lee as a human being I have ever seen in American fiction...Fascinating, intriguing, exciting."
–Emory M. Thomas, Robert E. Lee; a biography

The Worst Day of My Life, So Far
"A story of real grace and power."
Kirkus Reviews

"Readers ... will find themselves laughing out loud and moved to tears. An immense and original talent."
The Times-Picayune

"From the heartbreaking to the sidesplitting, the magic of this book is in the details."
Mobile Register

The Year of Past Things
"The prize is the way Harper uses the supernatural as a medium to show a middle-aged couple's fears... There's a genuine ghost story here, but it's the human story that sets off shivers."
–Eric Reyes, San Francisco Chronicle
