Reviews
The first reviews are coming out and SFX carried the first major press review of The Secret War. The review is not available on-line, so without breaching any copyright I can say my book got 3 stars out of 5, which isn’t bad when you consider Naomi Novik’s third Temeraire book only got 2 and a half stars. So I must be doing something right then!

I think of all the reviews I’m looking forward to the most, the Amazon reviews are at the top. Amazon reader reviews tend to be the most honest, usually without trying to sound too glib or overly referential (they’re the reviews I usually follow if musing turns to purchasing).
I’ve been told it takes about 10 days for reviews to go on-line – so I’m holding my breath for the first words to come in.

Which leads nicely to…

My Amazon twin
Well it appears I’ve sold enough books now to be twinned with someone on Amazon: Simon R Green, and his book the Hell to Pay. I haven’t bought a copy yet, but I am curious. Has anyone here read this?
