Dreadnought Channel

Because I just can't stop myself – and it might interest someone, somewhere out there in picking up my new book … here are some of the assorted new reviews that have come out in the last few days with Bonus! ridiculous picture of me and Duane from the University Book Store.

The Seattle Times weighs in – The local paper of note reads, reviews, mostly likes Dreadnought … though somehow manages to get most of the facts of the story incorrect. Not that I'm complaining! I'm happy for the coverage and glad that they came down on the side of "fun: fast-paced battle scenes, thundering locomotives and the gem of the book, its heroine." Thanks, Seattle Times!

Rambles.net also approves – Referring to Dreadnought as "a whole new ballgame." Thanks, Rambles! I'm glad you enjoyed the reading.

Elfland's Second Cousin gives a doozy of a write-up – Though the reviewer takes issue with the back flap copy. Ah, well. Can't win 'em all – though saying that "This book is tremendously fun to read … It is exciting, the characters engaging and the monsters scary … If you like zombies and the steampunk aesthetic, you will love this book…" is plenty of win to delight me. Many thanks, near-relation to the fey!

Me and Duane, after the U-books event – This picture is mostly hilarious if you know me and/or Duane in real life, and are aware of exactly (a). how short I am, and (b). how tall Duane is. And I'll have you to know I AM WEARING HIGH HEELS in this shot. Suffice it to say, I held out the camera and tried to get us both into the frame … to mixed results.
