Stars from RT …

• Posted in About Books

I got a nice surprise over the Christmas break — a great review of Spider’s Bite from Romantic Times magazine. The reviewer gave the book 4 1/2 stars, which is the best rating that I’ve ever gotten from the magazine (and the first of what I hope is many more to come). Here’s the top half of the review by Jill M. Smith:

Spider's Bite finalWhen it comes to work, Estep’s newest heroine is brutually efficient and very pragmatic, which gives the new Elemental Assassin series plenty of bite. Shades of gray rule in this world where magic and murder are all too commonplace. The gritty tone of this series gives Estep a chance to walk on the darker side. Kudos to her for the knife-edged suspense!

One of the editors, Faygie Levy, was also nice enough to do a little Q&A with me on Spider’s Bite. So my thanks go out to both Jill and Faygie. Both the Q&A and the review can be found in the the February issue. Hope you can check them out!

And I also have some other good news to announce. Stay tuned for more …

In the meantime, I’m doing the happy dance! 😉

    Ok, get us all in suspense whydon’tcha. The very best sort of news would be another sale for another series, so you could have two series going at once (otherwise known as “a steady writing income”). Ooh! Or that some other publisher picked up Bigtime, and I’ll be able to read book 4.

    Great news about Romantic Times! That can’t hurt at all, and I don’t think they ever give out more than 4.5 stars!

    You think you’re in suspense! Heh! I’ve known about this since early November and have had to keep it to myself. I’m thinking I can announce it next week though … 😉

    4.5 stars is the most stars that RT gives, but you can also get a “Top Pick” rating too, which I did not get for Spider’s Bite. Hopefully, I’ll snag that for Web of Lies, though!
