PW hugs Winterbirth

Apparently, getting a starred review in Publishers Weekly is what is known as 'A Good Thing'. Pleased, therefore, to say that Winterbirth has got one, about two-thirds of the way down this page.

It talks about the 'unapologetically stark yet darkly poetic narrative' and seems to predict a 'fervent audience', which sounds slightly alarming if you ask me, but I imagine I could live with it should such a thing come to pass.

Also, if anyone feels like they have an unrecognised talent for interrogation, there's an invitation to submit questions for an interview with me here - don't seem to able to link directly to the specific post, but it shouldn't be too hard to find, since it's got a great big picture of the Winterbirth cover.

EDIT: Things change fast in internetland - I can now link to the specific post about interview questions so here it is.

What a fantastic review! Enjoyed all the more from the sunshine and warmth of Barbados.

Ahh, a starred review in Publisher's Weekly... always an excellent way to start your publishing debut in the USA!

Congrats, Brian! Hopefully this is only the first step in the journey to please those always picky Americans!
