It’s a thrill to find myself mentioned on a blog I follow, especially when the reviewer liked the book! Elizabeth A. White and Sue Burke have both reviewed ‘Advice From Pigeons.’
I’m thrilled to have Sue’s approval, because when we were both in the Milwaukee Area Writers’ Guild, back when I was writing the book, I always admired her writing tremendously. Especially in short stories, she could zoom right to the point while I was laboriously circling it. Thanks, Sue! Sue has two blogs worth following: Mount Orégano, which covers everything of interest to the expatriate writer in Spain, and Amadis of Gaul, at which you can follow her translation of the novel that drove Don Quixote mad, along with explanations of the culture and history surrounding it.
Elizabeth White made me even happier by appreciating the academic setting as the real hook in the novel. It’s wonderful to have someone appreciate the Royal Academy. And her summary of the plot is better than my own … I may steal it for future promotional efforts. Check out Elizabeth’s Blog, Book Reviews by Elizabeth A. White, for keen, clever reviews that pinpoint the key features of their subjects. Many thanks, Elizabeth!
