  • "Jordan has a way of capturing the feeling of loss, grief, anxiety, and the sense of nothingness—numbness—in a single story. The story is meta, and the fragments of past, present and future are jumbled much like the emotions, but somehow beautifully connect and intertwine like lovers joining hands. A must read, 'From the Other Side' is as chaotic and tranquil as a wave crashing to shore."

    Leslie Gonzalez, Fiction Editor

  • "As a writer Jordan weaves vividly detailed imagery with a deep sense of a character’s inner life. She is unafraid to take the reader to abstract places, and her inclusion of incorporeal forms and hints of spirituality gives her work a mythological resonance."

    Jade Green, oranges journal

  • "It touched our soul, shifted our gaze, and offered a new perspective."

    The Plentitudes Journal

  • "I loved this concept and felt the suspense and panic along with Aliyah as she descended into the cenote. I also appreciated the strong narrative arc—the author managed to throw in quite a few twists in only a few pages. Carefully crafted and a joy to read. Another ending that brought me to tears."

    Elizabeth Copps, Literary Agent

  • "Jordan writes with clarity and concision, without sacrificing heart, in her engaging story."

    Lauren Hobson, Kithe Journal

  • "Jordan has blessed us with a fun and heartfelt story that provokes a meaningful thought about the choices we make and the life we truly want to lead."

    Daniel Cockrell, the holon project

  • "An atmospheric short story with lush descriptions that brings you fully into the scene. Petals and Ash isn't a long piece, but it packs a powerful punch and is a testament to Nishkian's talent as a writer."

    Alexander Rigby, Allegory Ridge
