"Nicholas Ruddok's new book made me want to go back and read
Mistry's Tales From Firozsha Baag, Leacock's Sunshine Sketches of a
Little Town, Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio, Steinbeck's Cannery Row.
How Loveta Got Her Baby is in good company with these classics." -

"While reading Ruddock's stories I couldn't help thinking about
some the rough-hewn characters Erskine Caldwell created when he was
writing his novels Tobacco Road and God's Little Acre.Knock my hat
off if I'm wrong, but like Caldwell's characters Ruddock's have
raggedy edges but are loveable nonetheless." - Harold Walters, The
Packet - 20140301
Nick Ruddock's How Loveta Got Her Baby is an antic collection of
homespun stories of squids and chainsaws, far-fetched plans and
less than immaculate conceptions. Characters appear and vanish and
appear again in interlocking tales that open and close like a
possessed accordion. - Mark Anthony Jarman, author of My White
Planet and Dancing Nightly in the Tavern - 20140112
