New Review

Fine Book of Tongues review from Sean McLachlan, aka MidListWriter on Blogspot, here (http://midlistwriter.blogspot.com/2010/04/review-book-of-tongues.html). Being a Civil War buff and historian, he rightly points out my blood-drunk gay porno horse opera is riddled with historical inaccuracies; in my defense, I can only claim that I did actually write a whole Apologia pointing this same sad fact out in fair detail, which hopefully will eventually work itself into the paperback version.;)

Otherwise, am now very securely in that floaty, drunken-feeling portion of the Day After the (Mainly Sleepless) Night Before. Still hammering here and there on "The Shrines". I guess I'll just go on that way 'til I fall over; usually works.

But isn't it an AU anyway? Nobody's busting Naomi Novik's chops because some of the events in the Napoleonic Wars turned out a little differently, because dragons. Oh, well, good review, all the same.

Yeah, magic and all. I think it's a good point, though, just like Steve has a good point when he takes me to task about the equally blatant geographical errors. I mean, at least in the second book I can specify people are simply teleporting all over the place, as opposed to somehow riding from Missouri through California to Texas, then Arizona and New Mexico, within a ridiculously short period of time. "I just wasn't paying attention" never sounds too good as an excuse, amirite?
