Guess I'll need some new hats

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.

Terrific quote! I'm sold!

Very nice! Now I can tell people I knew you back when you were an unknown. (Come to think of it, I co-wrote some UNCLE episodes with you.)

Yippee! Must to be putting in my order.

Order placed. As I said before I really enjoyed The Summer Country , looking forward to this book.

Aha! As Bob Heinlein used to say, cash remains the only kind of applause that matters!

(Thanks, folks. Booklaunch is a trying time for authors.)

Hey, nifty --
I'm gonna swank that *this famous writer fellow Hetley* even came to one of my books signings....

[jhetley.livejournal.com]

Swank all you want. It costs me nothing, and might rub off into a sale or two.

(The real chuckle comes from that "critically acclaimed THE SUMMER COUNTRY", as PW was one of the few lousy reviews I got for SC. You can, if you have nothing better to do, read it still at amazon.com. Must be a different reviewer this time.)
