I’ve just heard from Orbit that my author copies of Transformation Space are on the way. Can’t wait to hold it in my hand! This series, as many of you know, has bought both heartache and joy. The stories are very character driven which doesn’t necessarily fit with the taste all readers of space opera, while others appreciate its style. The Fringe Magazine, enjoyed the series because of that very aspect. Here’s the links to their reviews.

Dark Space review

Chaos Space review

Mirror Space review

At the end, the reviewer makes a comment that series would benefit from being published in omnibus form. I couldn’t agree more. And hope, one day, that that will happen.

“Into a world of wild secrets and deadly pleasures comes a girl whose innocence may  be her greatest strength.”

Isn’t that a wonderful line?

Today has been a bright writerly day. It began with this wonderful review of Glitter Rose by the much beloved and widely read Kate Elliot.

Soon after the postman left me a box that contained my Burn Bright proofs and the presenter brochure for the series (see left). Both gorgeous! As I mentioned on the Burn Bright site, I began writing this book in 2003, around the time I first started working on Dark Space. My agent loved the premise, but I had a 4 book SF series to write and it got pushed to one side and became the book I wrote when I wasn’t writing. Now my long-gestation-baby has teeth, hair and fingernails and I couldn’t be prouder of her.

To top off this already shiny day, my friend and partner in Burn Bright hijinks,Yunyu, had some good news, as did my Stalking Daylight, screenplay co-writer Lynne Jamneck. Would crack some champers if I still drank. White choc shall have to suffice!

This is a major shout out to my web design company, Austin Designworks, who have relaunched their own website. You can read my testimonials over there but it pretty obvious how much I LOVE them!
