Senior reviewer Shelley Glodowski of The Midwest Book Review posted a five star review of The Gift Horse on Amazon.com. She states, "Not only is Pamela Dodd an accomplished writer, but her imagination knows no bounds. This is a highly original plot with social commentary on the rights of young women in our society. ... Ms. Dodd's writing skills are impressive!"

The September/October issue of Living Jackson magazine includes a review for Trinity on Tylos. Reviewer Malcolm Campbell states " In her very readable novel, Dodd gives us a strong female protagonist whose journey to the forbidding planet of Tylos is more than a trip through space. It’s also an inner journey, one in which Venice will learn if she has what it takes to be more than a mere survivor."

Thanks to Malcolm and Roxane Rose, publisher of Living Jackson.
