…Readers will be taken away with these writings about a lot of different situations and places....This is all good.  Someone called this book brain candy, and that is just my thoughts about it as well....It has something for everyone to enjoy!

Foreword Reviews, Clarion Review * * *
Under Sonoran Skies has a number of bright spots...One might dip in and out of the book, reading only that which catches the eye…

Kirkus Reviews
Six Arizona-based authors present an anthology of poetry, essays and short fiction from their collective works…The pieces are generally quite brief, somewhat humorous and fairly casual.…The strongest section in the collection is the poetry. 

Arizona Daily Star
Readable, entertaining, well-indexed collection of poetry and prose...Includes local history, professional experiences and personal memoirs.
