Two New Reviews

First, my relatives in Indiana sent me a copy of a review from the Indiana Post-Tribune for Dead Sexy by Scheffie Sarver. It's HUGE. The nicest thing Sarver said might be this: "One of Hallaway's strengths is the way she weaves Garnet's tale. Garnet is human enough for the reader to sympathize with, but her circumstances are outrageous enough to give the reader a good chuckle. In one scene, hungry zombies chase Garnet into the confines of a garage. She vows to go on a diet when her hips get stuck in a window frame as she's escaping. We've all similarly vowed to start dieting, just perhaps not with a pack of zombies hot on our heels."

Second, Paula Chaffee Scardamalia reviewed Tall, Dark & Dead for BroadUniverse's BroadSheet. You can read it here: http://www.broaduniverse.org/broadsheet/0707pcsth.html

Okay

In case anyone is seeing the news about the collapsed bridge in Minneapolis, we're okay. If there are other Minneapolis/St. Paul SF/F writers or fans you're worried about, there's a check-in set up here:

If anyone thinks someone might be worried about them, they are encouraged to post an OK with Mnstf. Oh, and if you don't have an LJ account the person managing the site has kindly offered her email address laurel@tvpicks.net for check-ins.
