Shiny Book Review REALLY liked Fires of Nuala!

So last October a fellow writer (waves at Pooks!) mentioned www.shinybookreview.com as a reviewing group doing thoughtful reviews on all books, including ebooks. We're talking so serious they won't review books published by their own publishers. So I sent them my books, got a polite thanks, and forgot about it while moving and getting into the swing of job hunting.

Then, earlier this month, I heard from one of the reviewers. She was planning to review FIRES OF NUALA, and wanted to give me a heads up. I was hoping the review was mostly good, as she said she'd read the book more than once to get depth on the world, and planned to read the others.

I didn't expect her to LOVE it. Like in, A+ ?

WOW

"THE FIRES OF NUALA, written in 1988 and reissued** in 2010, is a book that should be in every science fiction library as it is complex, engrossing, interesting, compelling, and outstanding."

Not sure it gets any better than this! Spread the word!
