swan_towerToday's mail held not only my contributor's copies and check for Fictitious Force #2 (with my story "Sing for Me"), but my contributor's copy for Dark Wisdom #9 (with my story "The Wood, the Bridge, the House"). I don't even recall proofing that latter, but whether I did or not, here it is. Neat!
Also in the mail a couple of days ago was a copy of the Romantic Times Book Club review of Doppelganger. It seems they cover a lot more than just romance -- which, given that they apparently review something like two hundred and fifty books in every issue, ceases to be surprising. Anyway, much of the review is a plot synopsis, but at the end it says:
Kudos to Brennan for writing such a remarkable first novel and creating a distinctive fantasy world that poses a unique magical and ethical question. The twin heroines follow an electrifying knife-edged journey that takes readers to uncharted territory. An exceptional debut for what looks to be an intriguing series!
You can't read the RTBC reviews online, but you can see what they rated things, and when Rachel alerted me that they'd reviewed Doppelganger, I went and took a look. They gave my book four and a half stars; I presume that's out of five, but I can't be positive, since nothing else in that issue got more than four and a half stars.
^_^
And, just to keep my ego in check, some rejection letters in the mail, too. But I'm used to those at this point.
