What They’re Saying–
Molly Martin Ebookweb
Filled with intense imagery and absorbing characters sure to keep the reader turning pages A Mouth Full of Shell is a well wrought work showing some of the problems to be encountered by a determined woman in a male dominated, tight knit world. Writer Gotsch has produced characters who are well developed, often not very likeable and very convincing. Betsy has to be tough, she is a sympathetic character the reader can empathize with as she struggles to take charge of her own life.

What They’re Saying–
Carolyn Howard Johnson author This is the Place winner of 8 awards; and The Frugal Book Promotor How to Do What your Publisher Won’t–
Connie Gotsch uses a wealth of life experience (or research!) to flesh out her work. When a reader turns the last page she walks away with a picture of a place (in this case the four corners area full of desert and ancient Indian archaeological sites) and more than a taste of one profession or another (in this case three public relations, newspaper reporting, and photography). When one reads a novel, one expects to be caught up in a good story and one hopes for good characterization, but to feel more knowledgeable as well is a nice bonus.
