Last year, jimhines wrote a fantastic book called The Stepsister Scheme [Amazon]|[Mysterious Galaxy]. My mother really really loved it, thus proving that a) she has taste, and b) Jim is trying to woo her away from me. Hmmmph. But since we're both DAW authors, it's not like I could stay cranky for long.
Well, in just two weeks, the sequel to The Stepsister Scheme can finally be yours. The Mermaid's Madness [Amazon]|[Mysterious Galaxy] comes out October 6th, bringing you everything you loved about the first Princess adventure, and so much more!
Because it's almost Jim's book-day birthday, I thought he needed a pretty little dead ghoul to make the day even more exciting. Mel was surprisingly mellow about being turned into sushi, probably because the ocean is full of sharks, and she likes anything with more innate killing capacity than she possesses. I was a lot less mellow when I realized that I was going to need to hand-color all that fish netting. Oh, the things I do for love...
Happy book-day, Jim! Hooray for The Mermaid's Madness!
I've just ordered both from Amazon UK (delay on the second, of course, because it isn't out yet).
OBTW, because I've just remembered a question for your FAQ:
How do you like to be referred to in reviews and comments on sites other than your journal?
I ask because I seem to remember way back that you were not all that happy with a review which used only your surname. Using your first name seems rather familiar in a review, and honorifics tend to imply marital status. By default I will just say "the author", but doing that too many times feels rather odd...
