“In My Archipelago . . . the voice, the repetitions and the surprising turns, a sense of surprise, and in the end, a sense of community … a moment of perception, the mind surprised by one thing then the next and next, consciousness experienced as language.”
—James McKean, author of The Tree of Heaven and Headlong
“At once evanescent as life itself and beautifully precise, these are remarkably fluid pieces [in A Little Family] that have both the advantages of fiction and of prose poetry. They lull you, and then surprise you, moving subtly in unexpected directions.”
—Brian Evenson. author of Song for the Unraveling of the World and The Glassy, Burning Floor of Hell
“Kathryn Rantala’s short pieces [in A Little Family] are marked by a quiet yet insistent tenacity, a precision of language and vision that make the tiniest details of this journey numinous and profound.”
—Dawn Raffel, author of Carrying the Body and Further Adventures in the Restless Universe
“In A Little Family, quiet scenes open with precise details and anecdotes then expand into unexpected vistas. Something as simple as a walk to a movie may dissolve into the void or open up to the whole earth, the whole universe. These stories are exponentially bigger than they look, and stun with stealthy grace.”
—Angela Woodward, author of Natural Wonders and Ink
“The space around the images [in EAST, book two of The Jack Gunter Series] opens up landscapes . . . I want to get in my red car and drive east, over the Cascades, stay on I90 past the turnoff to Yakima, be in that space. And part of me feels as though I already have.”
—Joannie Stangeland, author of The Scene You See
“I flat out loved [The Finnish Orchestra]. A must read for anyone with Finland in their history, for anyone who wants to discover an unknown land, for anyone who loves a fine romance on a cold winter night.”
—Rebecca Loudon, musician, author of Tarantella and Amelia Earhart’s Letters
A Partial View Toward Nazareth: “Prose? Oh, it is poetry I do think. Either that or a novella. In any event it’s full of sentences that I wish were mine.”
—Bob Thurber, author of Paperboy and Nothing But Trouble

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
