"ESH Leighton's debut novel Journey Man is both gritty and glittering, corporeal in detail and cosmic in consequence. This book is sexy, slick, and one hell of a ride."

- Amy E. Casey, author of The Sturgeon's Heart

"In her clear, meditative style, ESH Leighton has teased apart the best elements of gritty urban fantasy and vibrant ancient mythologies, and whipped up an incredibly addictive odyssey that explores the complexities of life, death, and purpose."

- Nix Damon, author of Moira and Earth

"Leighton's genre-bending novel has myths, monsters, murderers, and muses, but at the core is something intimately human - the desire to figure out who we are. Much like The Artist in the novel, Leighton has made something beautiful, dark, funny, and unique."

- Elison Alcovendaz, author of Lovers, Exes, Soulmates.

"Prose as familiar yet edgy as the scratch of a turntable's needle on vinyl, stark as fluorescent bulbs, and dreamy as cigarette smoke. I see Journey Man becoming such a title to uncover and Leighton the name to scour for."

- Stephanie Escobar, author of Mercy of the Crow and A Song Beyond Walls

"This story is for the creative soul - a fun and compelling artistic experience in book form, packed with strikingly visual passages, philosophical ideas, and the most inventive characters I've read in a long time."

- Annie James Thomas, author of The Boy Who Brought the Sea
