Very Nice Things!
Author joelyskye has put Swordspoint at the top of her Top Ten list of faves on elisa_rolle 's LJ, "Reviews & Ramblings" -- right on up there with Mary Renault , Laura Kinsale, & omigod Dorothy Dunnett! Dunnett was a huge influence on me; I took her Lymond books as a personal challenge, and learned a lot.
And I can't stop re-reading this exquisite review of The Man With the Knives by Robert Tilendis over at Green Man Review. I dunno . . . maybe it's just the William Morris wallpaper that surrounds it. But I think it's the way Tilendis honors me with his close reading and carefully-chosen words. (It may be considered a bit spoiler-y. But it's a very short book; what can ya do?) Tilendis reviewed 2 of my other novels for Rambles.net, and did TPOTS for Green Man - I feel very lucky to have his eye on me.
I'm on a very crunchy deadline for my new Bordertown story (which I'm writing with Terri Windling, as a sort of introduction to the new volume) before we leave for Finncon on Tuesday . . . better get back to it now!
