Praise for Latham Shinder's
debut novel
THE GRAFFITI SCULPTOR

“ERUDITE AND QUIRKY...It's about time the art world got an ax-wielding, miracle-working heroine of its own. Shinder can talk the talk. Cool.”
—David Barnes, Professor of Fine Arts
Southeastern Oklahoma State University

“ASTONISHING...It’s about a woman who carves up the sides of buildings with an ax, and I loved every minute of it.”
—Billy Adams, Retired Chief Deputy Sheriff

“NEARLY FLAWLESS...What I liked best, Miranda sounded real to me.”
—Ivan Kelly, Bryan County Commissioner

"HARD TO PUT DOWN...There's a crime here, which is all well and good, but what got me was the way this woman looks at the world. The way she keeps fighting off the bad guys. The respect she has for herself in the process."
—Gary Newton, Sergeant
Grand Prairie Police Department

“CRAZY FAST-PACED...Can’t wait to see the movie.”
—Dr. Robert Golly

“INSPIRING...If you read only one book this year, read this book.”

THE GRAFFITI SCULPTOR is about a streetwise young sculptor with a lump in her breast who secretly begins carving her art on the sides of buildings in downtown Dallas. Almost overnight, her art gains a following, not because it's beautiful, it's not, but because her sculptures can heal. A nationally known televangelist and faith healer, Pastor Sammy Gann, sees the healing art as bad for business and will do anything to keep the public from putting a face to the saintly deeds. Any face, that is, other than his.
