Heinlein and my name in the same paragraph = Cloud Nine!!!
“The way [Tina O’Hailey] treated time… reminded me of Stranger in a Strange Land by Heinlein.” “Absolute Darkness gave me the science fiction feel I was looking for.” “I would gladly recommend this book to fellow sci-fi/fantasy aficionados.”

That was the reply I received when I asked for a serious critique on the time travel aspect of Absolute Darkness from reviewer JD DeHart, who had given a five star review on Net Galley. (Quote and review used with his permission.)
Humbling.
It’s been nearly 30 years since I voraciously read all of Heinlein, Varley, Asimov and others I can’t remember unless I’m in front of the book case in TN. I wonder what influence they had on this book? I might have to re-read to find out.
A very kind review and quote that has me on cloud nine. Super sweet and I could only dream of being in the same league. I did a quick interview for JD’s blog:
