              Praise for Crawfish Mountain…

Evocative in his descriptions…(of) a place you want to save.”—Susan Salter Reynolds, The Los Angeles Times

Open its pages and...laissez les bon temps rouler!” Michael Dirda, The Washington Post

“A political satire and a page- turning mystery. Like the best jambalaya, it's liberally spiced.” —Bob Minzesheimer, USA Today

“Wells has affection for his home state and is also a very talented writer...Enjoyable and entertaining.” —Greg Langley, the  Baton Rouge Advocate

There will be some fine times on the bayou awaiting the reader.” Crawfish Mountain is … “a comic thriller” with “a serious subtext.”  —Susan Larson,  The New Orleans Times-Picayune

“A smiling, wise-cracking, back-slapping writer of down-home fiction...In the tradition of Tom Wolfe, he writes energetic satire. A novel that rollicks...and laughs at its own jokes.” William J. Cobb, the Dallas Morning News
