The wind continues. Not copious rain. We retain power. Haven't checked the basement streams for possible overflow or trout.

Just got an email from the Nice Editor Lady, including an excerpt from a review this week of THE WINTER OAK.

"Full of rich prose (as well as R-rated dialogue), this sequel to the
critically acclaimed THE SUMMER COUNTRY confirms that Hetley has created
that rarest of gems: a Celtic fantasy worth reading. . . . Fans of
'realistic fantasy' authors like Charles de Lint and George R. R. Martin
will particularly enjoy sinking their teeth into this gritty and
entertaining story." --Publishers Weekly

Next time, we go for a bigger advance.
