More About the Book

Oh, you know me. One whole day after my publication date, and I’m still talking about my novel.

Anyway, here’s a great review from the incredible Margo Howard at wowowow.com and an essay I wrote for RT Book Reviews about my reasons for writing the novel.

2 JCK (Motherscribe) January 7, 2011 at 12:13 am: Of COURSE you’re writing about your book being released! It sounds like a great read, and I can’t wait to get it!

Happy New Year, Ruth! Wishing you book tours galore.

Writing a book is like an adventure. To begin with it is a joy, and then an amusement, and then a mistress, and then a master. Then it becomes a tyrant, and the last phase is just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster, and fling him about to the public.

Winston Churchill, November 2, 1949, upon receiving the gold award, Sunday Times Book Exhibition Award.

Congrats, am liking your new blog pic (quite the authorly pose), and, as you know, I ordered two copies of your book so look forward to sharing with my fiction-reading posse here.
