"COSMIC SCULPTURE is an anthology of futuristic fantasy stories. Dragons are a recurring theme, although not necessarily in the flesh. The stories range from a few pages in length to a novella involving intrigue, passion, and the dragon spirits' power struggle. Ms. Branson gives a wry twist to her tales, as if she's nudging  us in the ribs. I chuckled over incidents involving woodpeckers, a butler, and a few bottles of emerald  green wine, to name a few. This book is particularly well suited to readers on the run, whose entertainment must be snatched at odd minutes. Dip into the life of a lonely vampire, crawl through a crystalline mine, or mull over our sun's 'missing planet', all leavened with humor and the whisper of dragons' wings." ~ Jeanette Cottrell for eBook Reviews Weekly (2003)

"This book is a compilation of short stories. Ms. Branson throws in a dragon periodically, but ends with a story introducing us to their den. In
DRAGON'S DEN, Terri Branson has brought us a dragon world for the science fiction aficionado. Her characters are in bright colors right before your eyes and her world is so real you need a coat to cut the snowy cold. I am excited to see that more dragons are in the publishing future because this story is out-of-this-world wonderful. It is hard to wait on pins and needles for the next exciting adventure. These dragons are truly a keeper. This collection of short stories is refreshingly original. Ms. Branson has everything from little boys to vampires. She keeps you on your toes with her variety of subjects, and you just never can guess what her next tale will tell. I thoroughly enjoyed every unique one. They were a very fast read. You can keep this book in your purse or briefcase and enjoy a story while you wait.  I'm sure there is a waiting line somewhere in your day. The story of her dragon, on the other hand, lets you get your teeth into the book. I know you will enjoy them all. My suggestion is that everyone put Ms. Branson's books on their bookshelves or include them on their current order-waiting list. You will not be sorry." ~ Brenda McCoy for Coffee Time Romance (2004) FIVE STARS

"An eclectic mixture showcasing the author's creativity, imagination, and truly twisted sense of humor."
~ Pantherhawk Reviews (2003) FIVE STARS

"A clever and oftimes humorous blend of science fiction and fantasy."
~ Chaos Arts Reviews (2003) FIVE STARS

"In
COSMIC SCULPTURE, Terri Branson has created a fascinating blend of dragons and aliens, science fiction and Native American wisdom. Although each story stands on its own, Ms. Branson's caustic sense of humor binds the collection into a cohesive whole. An unforgettable reading experience." ~ Paula Blais Gorgas, author of Dreamtime, Earth Magic, and Other Worlds
