Author of ten crime novels, including the black comic noir thriller "The Ice Harvest".

"They Call me Crazy is by turns funny, scary, sad and sexy, as convincing an autopsy of a family's disintegration as I've read. An instant classic of country noir in the vein of Daniel Woodrell, Donald Ray Pollock and Frank Bill."

Author of eight hard-boiled crime novels, including "Johnny Porno".

Most of us have demons. Sometimes we control them; sometimes they control us. A woman fighting the demons of her upbringing may or may not have killed her husband. Everybody calls her crazy. Maybe she is, maybe not. Her husband had a lover. He also has a brother, an honest man searching for peace. They Call Me Crazy is one of my favorite reads of 2012, the ending of which is both masterful and bittersweet. A terrific debut.

Author of four nonfiction books of natural history, ecology, and environmental affairs and recipient of the 2002 New Hampshire Writers' Project Nonfiction Prize.

"In Ragtown, (Gamble) has woven a love story peopled by a rich cast of supporting characters, and which---by virtue of her research---moves seamlessly and authoritatively between history and invention, between engineering and intimate relationships."

Author of "Plowing Up a Snake" and "The Suburbs of Heaven"

"Great imagery, vivid and colorful language, telling details, careful integration of history and story, and fascinating characters."

Hoover Dam historian and author of four books related to its construction:

“Ragtown… combines adventure, romance, social comment, and historic accuracy in a way few stories of this iconic event in American history have achieved.”

Recipient of the Langum Prize for historical fiction...

"(Gamble) gives us an authentic look into a past event of historic significance involving thousands of human beings and a vast landscape in the American West. And reminds us, incidentally, that enriching the few on the backs of the hard-working many is something we should probably be thinking about again in the 21st century."
