Reviews

"Nicholas Ruddok's new book made me want to go back and read Mistry's Tales From Firozsha Baag, Leacock's Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town, Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio, Steinbeck's Cannery Row. How Loveta Got Her Baby is in good company with these classics." - BookShelfBookstore - 20140301

"While reading Ruddock's stories I couldn't help thinking about some the rough-hewn characters Erskine Caldwell created when he was writing his novels Tobacco Road and God's Little Acre.Knock my hat off if I'm wrong, but like Caldwell's characters Ruddock's have raggedy edges but are loveable nonetheless." - Harold Walters, The Packet - 20140301

Nick Ruddock's How Loveta Got Her Baby is an antic collection of homespun stories of squids and chainsaws, far-fetched plans and less than immaculate conceptions. Characters appear and vanish and appear again in interlocking tales that open and close like a possessed accordion. - Mark Anthony Jarman, author of My White Planet and Dancing Nightly in the Tavern - 20140112
