” “I very much enjoyed Stevie’s writing in ‘River Rules’ and her unflinching descriptions of the characters and their experiences. They feel like real people with real flaws and relatable problems. Her use of dialogue is superb and really made the book come alive. In the fictitious Connecticut River town of Bridgeville, all the good and bad aspects of small-town life come alive in the novel. It is compelling and feels like it could be a movie, in fact, due to the screenplay-aspect of the dialogue and the germane descriptions that make a river town come alive on the page.”

” River Rules, the debut novel from Stevie Z Fischer, takes an in depth look at small town living, highlighting the beauty and the liabilities along the way. This suspenseful tale teaches readers about how connections, on both a personal and corporate level, can make a difference in ones environment. She makes a plea for conservation over greed, taking chances on those who may be marginalized in our society, and choosing humanity, always. Fischer's story compels one to do make the right choice, the humane choice, always.

” "I enjoy the characters (and there were many--I had to have a list next to me while reading to keep them straight.) The ins and out of the story and how each person intertwined with each other kept this story flowing. After chapter one I couldn't put down River Rules. I hope there's another book with these characters because I want to see one person get what they deserve (no spoilers here) It's a thought provoking story on how greed and corporations affect our daily lives."
