Two more blog tour things:
- An essay I wrote on the story behind Hild: Freed By Constraint
- A long review of the book: Adventures in the 7th Century
There have been other reviews on the web but as they’re neither from the official blog tour nor from a major journal I’ll spare you. Some are a bit, hmmm, grumpy: not queer enough, not medieval enough, not plotty enough, etc.
Coming soon: a post about a crowd-funding campaign for an anthology worth supporting, Accessing the Future. Access matters to me.
I just finished reading Hild, and it's thoroughly spectacular. What an amazing set of characters, Hild herself most especially; what gorgeous and rich use of language(s); what an immersive dip into a period of time about which I knew almost nothing. I couldn't put it down. It's fantastic. Thank you so much for writing it — this is a book to which I know I will return.
