Analog

Kea's Flight has been reviewed in Analog magazine!

I had sent in a review copy and been told that it might be reviewed in the October issue... and just today I found out that the October issue has been out for a while (things are a bit strange that way in the world of magazines) and it does contain a review of our book.

It's a positive review, comparing us to Heinlein and Asimov (wow!)... though it doesn't get all the details of the story right, and it questions whether the paperback is worth $26.99. Heck, I don't think the paperback is worth that much... Lulu makes me charge that much if I want it to have an ISBN and be sold in print on Amazon. That's why I have the alternative $15.00 paperback edition that doesn't have an ISBN and is sold only on Lulu. And, as the review says, the $3.89 ebook version is well worth it.

Anyway, I'm delighted that it got in, and I'm realizing this may have played a bigger part in the recent uptick in sales than the review on "Science Fiction and Other ODDysseys." Still, I'm grateful for both, and so happy that people like our book!
