9781982127404 Have You Eaten Grandma? 8/13/2019
"In this delightfully entertaining book about grammar in the age of Twitter and emojis, the author recognizes that the English language is evolving… but draws a hard line when meaning and understanding are at stake. This book will thrill grammar nerds, but is also a wonderful resource for anyone who isn’t quite sure when or why to use a semicolon." -- Anne Peck, Righton Books, St. Simon's Island GA
9781984821218 The Beekeeper of Aleppo 8/27/2019
"This was one of the most beautifully crafted novels I have ever read, despite its horrific subject. Lefteri balanced the flashbacks of escape with the difficulties refugees have when claiming asylum in a way that builds each character's deteriorating personality along the way. Each trial and tribulation reminds readers that these refugees are people, too, even as we work to dehumanize them at their most vulnerable state."-- Karyn Cumming, Fountain Bookstore, Richmond, VA
9781250205933 Dominicana 9/3/2019
"Original, compelling, and so well written. I devoured DOMINICANA as if it were a slice of angel food cake. What a unique new voice. Such a treat. " -- Jean Lewis, Copperfish Books, Punta Gorda, FL
