The first a gift and the second a stroke of sheer luck among remainders. Have such a thing for Hesperus Press despite their organizational issues.

I'm not at all a fantasy fan, but as a writer I chose the book in support of LeAnn, who's a friend of a friend. The size of it alone evoked the unfortunate, all-too-frequent "uggh" that often greets indie or self-published books. But when I started reading, I felt immediately that LeAnn has talent. Her prose in particular is superb, and the story reads as smoothly and easily as any mainstream book I've read. That said, it does have its flaws (like any book), and it's not necessarily a book I'd press my friends to read. Overall, though, it's been a wonderful surprise to discover this talented author who believed enough to go indie despite whatever obstacles she surely came up against along the way.Sharon Biallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01638993916061674433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-30306666319741989862010-05-14T13:43:10.280-04:002010-05-14T13:43:10.280-04:00I'll be very interested to hear what you think...I'll be very interested to hear what you think of Tinkers.
