More Yakkin’ and Jawin’
Been a while since I posted any interviews or reviews. There have been a few piling up, but I’ve had a lot of other things on my plate. I just finished a rough draft of The Duke’s Mines, another Arlen Messenger short, and knocked out 1200 words of The Daylight War today. I also have edits on The Desert Spear from Del Rey that I need to get on. This is on top of negotiating to buy some office space so I can work, and frequent daddy duty.
I know, bitch, bitch, bitch.
So here are some fun links:
There’s a nice mini-interview I did for John Joseph Adams on Tor.com. The article is called The Warded Man… in 60 Seconds, and as promised, it’s a quick read.
There’s a really great Warded Man review on Black Gate. I almost crapped my pants reading it, because the review starts out with a tone that makes you think the reviewer is going to really rip into it, and then it suddenly turns into a glowing and powerful endorsement that really understood what I was trying to do in the story. I didn’t see that coming.
Fantasy Magazine posted a great Warded Man review a couple of weeks ago, as well, and there’s one on Christina Rickard’s blog, another on A Mingled Yarn, and a few more on Rate it All, including one where someone writes this nice review saying they liked the book, and then gave it 2 out of 5 stars. WTF?
James on Speculative Horizons was threatening to review The Painted Man for a while, and finally posted that today. He generally gives it a thumbs up, but gave a few criticisms. What was amazing was the fact that several people quickly commented in my defense, and an interesting debate came out of it. Check it out here: Speculative Horizons Painted Man Review.
Couple more Painted Man reviews on The Deckled Edge and Unbound, as well.
I’ll be doing an post soon dedicated to my German readers, with interviews, reviews and the like for Das Lied der Dunkelheit, AKA The Song of Darkness, which is the German title. Be on the lookout for that wenn Sie Deutsch sprechen.
Those are some great reviews! Congrats!
Really enjoyed the book and am looking forward to the next one.
