Well, hello there!

I have moved the blog and all related to it officially here to WordPress, and am happy to have done so. Hopefully I'll be able to keep my publications and all information about them a little more coherent using this medium.

I suppose it'd be best if I started this off with some good news:

My Bookish Ways gives The Troupe a glowing review, saying:

Haunting, terrifying, and achingly beautiful, The Troupe is a book to be savored, and it will stay with you long after you've finished reading. Very highly recommended.

We Love This Book says:

This is one of those fantasy books that wears its genre origins lightly.  You have a very engaging and accurate-seeming look at variety theatre of the time, into which comes folk tale, elementals, bad creatures and a lot more, in such a way the general reader couldn't really object.  And for the fantasy fan Bennett drops in everything very satisfactorily, with a gothic-tinged, low-key American style of legend.

I am just fine with the general reader not having anything to object to.

And Niall Alexander does a great job shilling for my first two books, Mr. Shivers and The Company Man, and though he didn't quite like the first half of The Troupe, at the start of the second half…

What follows is an exhilarating story about family, and friendship… about love, legacy and inheritance. An odd, off-beat narrative that is down-to-earth and utterly unearthly all at once.  The Troupe is easily Robert Jackson Bennett's most intimate and accessible novel so far.

So, good things!
