“Wallace Baine is history’s mischievous magician. In his short story, “The Last Temptation of Lincoln,” he lures us in with the tale of a beloved American hero, deflects us with smart prose and then reveals a plot twist so deft, it manages to touch your heart and funny bone at the same time. I’ll never read history the same way again.”
- Peggy Townsend, author of “Safe Landings”
“Wallace Baine is a wonderful writer who specializes in smart and entertaining satire. He has a dry and understated wit and is not afraid to use it, whether he’s describing the contemporary adventures of an invisible woman or telling you the untold story of an ambitious female 19th century ghost who changed the course of history. His writing will keep you off guard and have you in stitches.”
- Dan White, author of “The Cactus Eaters”
“Haunted and haunting, "The Last Temptation of Lincoln" is a tale rich in historic detail, and richer still in its illumination of Lincoln’s heart. On top of everything else he does well, Wallace Baine is a master story-teller.”
- Elizabeth McKenzie, author of “Stop That Girl”
