In which my mother is always right...

[j_cheney]

My mother told me she really liked Early Winter, Near Jenli Village (at least I remember it that way), and her tastes were validated today by Lois Tilton over at IROSF, who gave the story a RECOMMENDED review!

A sad and quiet tale about wounds that even kindness and love are not enough to heal.

I am full of squee!!! And thanks to marshall_payne for the heads up!

On another note, I went to the brick-and-morter book store today and was frustrated that I couldn't find what I was looking for (hardbacks of the last two books by Jim Butcher, and the first two books by rclementmoore). That is less worthy of squee. I gave in and ordered on-line.

Congrats on your great review!

If you haven't read the first two rclementmoore books yet, you're in for a treat. ;-)

Yeah, I just read Highway to Hell so I'm looking forward to reading the other to, and I've put The Splendor Falls on pre-order...

[amysisson.livejournal.com]

Of the three, Hell Week is my favorite. And I'll be pre-ordering Splendor Falls too. ;-)

Very nice review, and what a sad, beautiful story...

That story is beautiful and sad. The movement -- from the young husband's sexual frustration to the revelation of the abuse to the young wife's suicide -- surprises at every turn, yet when one looks back over each corner one sees it was natural, inevitable. Well done.

Thank you ;o)

Hurrah, congrats on the review! I saw it a couple of days ago while I was proofreading, and preened just a little bit for you. *g*

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[countesslovlace.livejournal.com]

Good for you!

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

Thanks ;o)

I went right out and read this story once it went live. If I didn't say so before it is wonderful.
