Reminder - Watt O'Hugh Reading and a Few New Reviews
Friends -
Please remember to join me this coming Wednesday, May 21, at 7 pm, for the publication celebration and reading of the second Watt O'Hugh book, and the reissue of the first. It will be at the Community Bookstore, on 7th Avenue in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Hop on the F train and come join me.
A few happy reviews have come out pre-publication:
"Watt O'Hugh will stay with you long after you've turned the last page of Steven Drachman's joyful, hilarious and smart tale. Much like the dizzy feeling I have when I get off the spinning teacup ride at an amusement park, my head happily spun through time and place. Drachman, or maybe it was Watt O'Hugh, made me an instant fan."
– Nicolle Wallace (NY Times Best-Selling Author of Eighteen Acres, and ABC-TV analyst)
“An exciting and tumultuous tale … Watt evades fantastical monsters with the same self-reported aplomb he uses to confront demonic gunfighters, rob trains, and comfort distressed maidens (both living and otherwise). Four stars out of five!” — Clarion Reviews
“What’s unique about it is the blend of Western stuff with supernatural stuff. It blends so easily with a long-lost love subplot. Both books are quick-reading, page-turning pulpy adventures.” – Science Fiction Revolution
“By the end of the second novel, we have a revenge plot, a Chinese version of Hell, a quest, more historical personages, and some derring do. … These are both intriguing and entertaining novels … Not the kind of thing you find too often, and that in itself can be a virtue.” – Critical Mass
“Looking for something a little more…weird? … for more weirdness, check out the over-the-top pulpishness of Steven S. Drachman’s dime-store duology.” — John DeNardo, SF Signal
“[Q]uite poetic! …. The time travelling almost takes on ‘Doctor Who’ proportions. He meets up with Chinese from 2000 years ago and gets involved in complicated plots which could affect everything and everyone. Despite being up against lots of violence and villains, Lucy … is his main preoccupation, his oasis in the desert of time. When all is said and done, this book is a jolly good romp, pleasant to read and very entertaining. It’s being released with the second book in the series and there will probably be more in the future. … It’s a well-written book which certainly deserves some attention!” — SF CrowsNest
“Drachman’s exuberant novel is chock-full of fantastical elements; in addition to Watt’s time-roaming ability and spectral allies (often called “deadlings”), there are demons, oracles, dragons and assorted monstrosities…. Watt shines!” – Kirkus Reviews (on Watt O’Hugh Underground)
