Spindrift and Ship to Shore
Aug. 28th, 2005 11:36 amThe section for Spindrift 2: Ship to Shore is now up on my website:
Details, including cover art and short blurb
Erotic excerpt
And I've had some very nice reviews for Spindrift, which have made me a very happy author. *I* thought it was one of the best things I've ever written, so I'm glad other people agree. The only problem now is that I've got to try to keep up the standard for the next book. Erk.
The first review that came in really made my day, because I was at Worldcon at the time, and had been netless for a few days, Grabbed a fifteen minute slot on the public access machines to check my email just before going to the Hugo Ceremony, and found a five star review for Spindrift. Then I went to the ceremony and saw one of my friends win the Hugo for Best Novella. That was a *good* evening. :-)
That review was from Just Erotic Romance Reviews, with 5 stars and heat rating S from Michelle Naumann:
"...a wonderfully rich tapestry of human emotions. Ms. Jones has penned a novel where I empathized with almost every situation... Ms. Jones explores the myth of the selkie, puts her own unique spin on it and has penned another winner in my book."
At the moment it's only available in the subscription newsletter, but the full review will be placed on their general access website in a couple of weeks.
Another review went up yesterday, at Joyfully Reviewed, a new romance review site.
"There is a sensual quality to the writing style that I found especially appealing... Spindrift is my favorite Jules Jones book to date, and I am looking forward to more from this author!"
And for a slightly different perspective, Alex/Predatrix wrote a review on her LJ. Yes, she's biased because she's my writing partner, but that also means she has a fairly good idea of what sort of things I was playing with:

(And it occurs to me that writing it as Alex/Predatrix because different people reading this blog know her by different names leads to all *sorts* of interesting conjectures...)
