Have just had an absolutely brilliant review from Sarah F at Dear Author:
I adored it. The characters were brilliant. The world-building was so subtle and so well-done — how different the wolves were from the humans, but how Nick used both sides of himself to win Julian and the battle against Julian’s abusive partner and Julian’s father. The tone/voice was pitch perfect. The setting was wonderful.
And kudos for Samhain Publishing: I love that Samhain is just going with the flow of your Englishness to the extent that they’re not even changing English spelling to American.
Wouldn't it be nice if some other non-UK publishers felt able to relax a little on this point?

Date: 2011-06-12 10:53 am (UTC)Whenever I see English spelling, I know I'm always in for something just a little different. There's a different feel about writing by and about Brits, so I, too, am glad Samhain didn't change anything.

And Tiff isn't really a stone overweight, of course. *pets her* She's a healthy UK size 12, and was just having a bit of a downer on herself!
