Cameron Abbott
MANY THANKS to those of you who have written me with your thoughts and comments about my novels. And yes, yes, there's another one on the way. It's been a very busy year for me, so I haven't finished the new novel as soon as I'd hoped, but I promise I'm working on it!
Meanwhile, be sure to take a look at my video interview on the weblog MeetJustin.com/Blog.

Recent Reviews:
An Inexpressible State of Grace
A "fast-moving, engagingly told tale of a thirtysomething's coming out amid a marriage full of sadness and regret, and sibling relations full of unresolved tensions." Whitney Scott, Booklist, ALA
"With deft characterizations, an engrossing plot, and a marvelous sense about the
volatility of secrets, Cameron Abbott has crafted A TERRIFIC FOLLOW-UP to her first
novel, To The Edge." -- Lori L. Lake, author of Different Dress and Gun Shy, and
reviewer for Midwest Book Review.
To The Edge
"Brilliant and touching..." "To The Edge, a new title by first-time novelist, Cameron Abbott, is a tale of one woman's coming of age during the free-lovin' 70's and later, the politically-correct 90's. Broken into two halves, aptly titled 'The Seventies' and 'The Nineties,' Abbott weaves an interesting story around Anne Henderson, a sexually confused theater major at an Ivy League school.... Amidst the angst of denial, acceptance, heightened libidos, and first-time loves, Anne's character simply shines, giving the reader a feeling of 'yeah, I know how that feels...' as she describes the wondering, heart-pounding moments she has with Gallagher, the frenzied heat of making out in a car with Rae, the heartbreak of betrayal, and ultimate loss of innocence." OutLook Press 2001 (www.outlookpress.com)
"The odds are that you'll both laugh and cry along the way with Anne, while sharing her joys, frustrations, sadness, and even anger. You'll certainly identify with, if not all the situations, with some of the people, either seeing yourself or people you have known.
To The Edge is definitely a good book to curl up with in front of a fire, in the tub, or while falling asleep. Enjoy it. I know I did." (Deborah Levinson, Lesbianworlds.com)
"An excellent and highly readable coming-of-age romance, and a legal thriller as well." -- Phyllis Chesler, PhD, author of Women And Madness and Letters To A Young Feminist
"TRAIN TRACKS" (from The Milk of Human Kindness: Lesbian Authors Write About Mothers and Daughters)
"In 'Train Tracks', fiction by Cameron Abbott, a simple question between sisters discussing their ailing, possibly dying mother, 'Has she asked for me?', evokes emotions of daughter who against all odds still yearns for unconditional love by a mother who never accepted her." -- Cheri Rosenberg
