"In COSMIC SCULPTURE, 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." ~ reviewed by Jeanette Cottrell for eBook Reviews Weekly [FIVE STARS]

"COSMIC SCULPTURE is a refreshingly original collection of short stories. Ms. Branson 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 very fast reads. 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." ~ reviewed by Brenda McCoy for CoffeeTime Romance [FIVE STARS]

"I so enjoyed this collection of very short, very entertaining stories. I loved the mixture of paranormal and sci-fi. Some of the endings had me gasping out loud and some had me chuckling. I’d already read DRAGON'S DEN, which is a fabulously compelling novel. The COSMIC SCULPTURE collection is a huge bargain and will keep you entertained for hours…in small bites, which is sometimes all I have time for." ~ reviewed by T. P. Warren at Goodreads [5-STARS]

"The first sentence of the first story in the COSMIC SCULPTURE anthology begins with: 'Sir, have you counted the planets this morning?' Say what? This collection of fourteen short stories of various lengths plus the DRAGON'S DEN novella showcases the author's command of style, technique, and storytelling. There is a little bit of everything in this collection from faeries to space misadventures to vampires and dragons who walk as men. Readers are taken on an emotional roller-coaster. Some stories are downright funny. Others are thought-provoking. A couple of them might have you looking under the bed before you turn off the light. COSMIC SCULPTURE gives sci-fi/fantasy and paranormal readers a little bit of everything doled out in stories of various lengths and is easily a 5-star read." ~ reviewed by Neon Guru [FIVE STARS]

"COSMIC SCULPTURE is a superb selection of short stories that employs humor and wit and bite across a variety of science fiction and fantasy themes. It also includes the short novel DRAGON'S DEN, that is science fiction at its best. The first line of the first story in the anthology is: 'Sir, have you counted the planets this morning?' From there forward it's one unexpected twist and surprise after another. This is a great selection of stories worthy of a full 5-stars!" ~ reviewed by Allen Dale [FIVE STARS]
