The Anna Leonard post o' the day...

[lagilman]

Normally I don't post reader reviews, good or bad (although I do read them and mull over them, since it's The Reader I eventually answer to, not the professional critic), but this one from Rae Lori just pleased me so very much on a Monday morning.... (see if you can guess why):

"I tell ya, if [Dreamcatcher] were in print format I would promptly buy a print version to go with my ebook. This is probably my favorite Bite and the best written so far. The story deals with a young woman named Emma who has been having strange dreams coupled with a debilitating disease that no doctors have been able to diagnose so far. Male nurse, Matt, is sent by her father to take care of her and as he helps her find her way back to health, things aren't as quite as they seem on the surface.

I really liked the world building in Dreamcatcher and the story felt like it was story fit for a short format rather than a novel that may have been chopped down a bit. The characters are well fleshed out and even the secondary character Emma's doctor friend (whose name escapes me for the moment, ack!) shined in the scene she was in. Ms. Leonard has a way with dialogue and scenery that really makes the story come alive with a great background to the characters to make them realistic.

If you like dark, sexy paranormals without the usual beasties, be sure to pick this baby up!"

I suspect it was the "way with dialogue and scenery." 8-)

Say, when you asked for contact re: mapmaking, did you mean via your sff.net address, or via some other, mysterious and unknown-to-me address?

close but not quite a ceegar.

And yes, the sff.net e-mail, although that search is on hold for the moment while other things get hammered out...

Now that's a nice fan letter/review!

Da gargoyle approves....
