    I did leave someone out!
    Fictionaut Paul Steven Stone who was an early preview buyer and wrote a spectacular review!
    Well I'm more than a little embarrassed!

    Great to see it out & getting "air-time" too on that Trever Joe Lennon show. Looks like a winner!

    From everything I've read, Susan, it sounds like a great novel. I'll be purchasing a copy ASAP. I hope it brings the recognition you both deserve for your writing and the riches to go with it. Stay way up!

    Writing this book with Gary was a high point in my writing life. No kidding when I say this. Nobody could have asked for a better writing partner. We both stuck with the novel till it was done, and that is no small feat considering all the things that pull people away from completing a book. We were driven to write it and we're proud of the result. We're lucky to have Gloria Mindock's press Cervena Barva as our publisher. Thanks to everyone who has commented here with your good words and support. Susan
