Praise for Starting Over

"Pilcher writes with an easy accessibility to his characters' depths and has an excellent sense of the pace of his story. It's easy to feel you know these people and to grasp the complexities of their relationships. All told, it's a worthy novel."
---Houston Chronicle

"[Starting Over] offers light, entertaining reading and will appeal to those who like to escape but not be pandered to by overtly predictable situations.... Pilcher subtly pulls us into his charming tale."
---Chattanooga Times Free Press

"[Pilcher] encourages us with the thought that even in the worst of times there is the hope of starting over."
---Anniston Star

"This is a warmly written, down-to-earth novel about human relationships."
---Deseret News
Praise for An Ocean Apart

"Warm and readable."
---Chicago Sun Times

"With his Scottish sensibility and captivating wordplay, Pilcher crafts a fine and fulfilling novel."
---Booklist

"Pilcher...writes of family and friends, love and death, grief and recovery with every bit as much insight and meticulous detail as his mother, celebrated novelist Rosamunde Pilcher.... Highly recommended."
