Some Night Calls cross-pollination...
Nov. 13th, 2010 02:47 pmWhile starting to add some of my copious library to GoodReads, I've added some reviews of my own stuff, usually with trivia comments about the stuff, so thought I'd share.
Night Calls by Katharine Eliska Kimbriel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Well -- I'm biased, because I wrote the book. But I love Allie passionately, and as long as she'll tell me stories, I'll write them down. This book is a first person narrator. Oh, for the curious -- no, I've never read Scott Card's Alvin Maker books. And -- trivia for you. When I thanked Pat Elrod for taking time to review the book, and teased her about the exaggeration of "the lights" she said something like: "Exaggeration? I didn't exaggerate! I still leave the lights on at night thanks to that (SPOILER)!"
Considering I was trying for a dark fantasy and not a horror novel, I'm honored!
A review or two --
"With a clear, distinctive voice, Katharine Kimbriel invents and re-invents magic on America’s frontier, a place hardly explored by writers and long overdue for a visit. (Or should I say a visitation?) Love the book."
---Jane Yolen, author of Sister Light/Sister Dark and White Jenna
"Beautifully drawn, solid, compelling characters against a background so real and scary I left the lights on all night. It was great!"
---P.N. Elrod, author of The Vampire Chronicles
