Buy this book!!
My darling lordshiva, whose inestimable storytelling talents have graced us in Buffy fandom (not to mention Dr. Who recently) under the name Kalima, has finally had her book Erasing Sherlock published, and I have it in my hot little hands. ::does happy dance of book joy::
It's the last, apparently, of the Faction Paradox SF books from Mad Norwegian Press, and I highly, highly recommend you get your hands on it. I think it's probably easiest to order through Amazon, alas, but if you love good writing and great story ideas, you won't be disappointed. Or maybe if you have a great bookstore nearby, you can order it. Really, seriously, go buy!
I had the privilege to work on it a bit in a previous incarnation because one potential publisher wanted Kalima to cut 40,000 words! (And then the bastards didn't even publish it!) The best part was that I got to spend so much time talking to her for real, instead of only online through LJ.
I know it's been a trauma, sweetie, and I know you're worried about the future, but I hope that this is a good sign that people are now going to recognize the incredible writing talent you have and this is the first of many stepping stones. I am thrilled to have your book, and I hope that we can meet up sometime so you can autograph it for me. You are truly gifted and I am proud to know you.
