Wobbling along ...
So Empress of Mijak (aka as Empress) has gone to reprint in Australia. That's very encouraging. And Innocent Mage went to another reprint locally a couple of weeks ago, and that's just as encouraging. Cue the author heaving a great big sigh of relief!
Ended up getting caught doing internet housekeeping chores this morning, but now I've finished another chapter of Witches Inc. I expect the momentum to pick up considerably from here on.
Also, the lovely people at Orbit posted me an SFX magazine review of Empress, which contains (among other things) this lovely quote:
'Miller's protagonists are memorable, her setting detailed, cohesive, and full of texture and original touches.'
The reviewer, one Barbara Davies, wasn't unalloyed in her praise. While she calls the book 'ambitious, impressive and intriguing,' she thinks it's too long, and finds Hekat a pretty tough customer. I agree with the latter, but not the former, but overall the review is wonderfully thoughtful and helpful to a writer still coming to grips with her craft and technique.
When a reviewer is as considered and judicious as this, I have no problem with some sour mixed up with the sweet.
