Okay, so I didn’t make the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Quarterfinals, and that’s cool.
BUT
There is some exciting news. My friend Julie K. Rose did! And honestly, given the panel of judges, I can see why. It’s exactly the kind of book these esteemed judges write.
I’m luckier than most of you. I’ve gotten to read The Pilgrim Glass in its incarnations, and it’s really good.
There are two links I’d like to share with you:
If you visit Julie’s site, and click on the sample chapter link, you’ll find chapter one.
This is the official Amazon site
Why should you read and review The Pilgrim Glass excerpt? If you are the kind of reader who likes a heavy dose of realism mixed in with your fantasy, or if you like fantasy with a strong historical base, this is a good book for you. It comes from the same school of writing that produced The Time Traveler’s Wife and The Lake House.
The characters are fascinating and realistic, and the situation artistic and evocative. The writing is full and descriptive. It is a mystery of angles and alcoves, and the first 27 pages are waiting for you at Amazon.
Congratulations, Julie, and I wish you much luck in moving forward!
