    “ ADAM'S ANGELS is an entertaining piece of farce, rewriting the creation of man. I loved the use of Genesis story elements in a completely novel way. I laughed out loud. ”

    “ ADAM'S ANGELS is a funny, delightful tale of the origin of man's companion whoo-man. Jacqui Floyd-Priskorn has innocent fun with this satirically sinful story that is certain to please anyone with a religious sense of humor. If you didn't know before how Adam got the apple - now you do. A total blessing of a short! ”

    “ In this clever riff on Genesis, we see possibilities beyond Adam and Eve and a very different explanation of how the apple came into Eve's possession. We also experience the first man, the first woman, the first sexism and a groaningly dysfunctional celestial bureaucracy. There is a great deal of wit and trenchant observation packed into this short satire. ”
