Heartfelt and Uncanny

Delighted to say report that we received a fabulous quote for Anya DeNiro’s forthcoming OKPsyche from Morgan M. Page, screenwriter of Framing Agnes:
“Tense and funny, heartfelt and uncanny, Anya Johanna DeNiro takes us on an hallucinogenic tour through the mind of a woman on the edge. Guided by strange angels or losing touch with reality — either way, it’s happening to you!”
And then I saw this lovely early review on Edelweiss from a bookseller, Sam Edge at Epilogue Books Chocolate Brews in Chapel Hill:
“An allegorical and lyrical short novel about a transgender woman struggling to belong in a near future populated by emotional support robots and a ceaseless slew of environmental disasters. DeNiro writes with a complexity that reflects the internal emotional struggles of her unnamed protagonist as she fights for happiness and a better relationship with her young son. A uniquely told and refreshingly weird story of self-realization and the courage it takes to love.”
