Is it Friday already? This week has just flown by. Must be time for another round-up of Orbit Author online activity (try saying that ten times fast with a mouth full of toffee…)
- Blogger Graeme Flory gave R. Scott Bakker’s The Judging Eye a whopping 9.75/10 in his glowing review and Larry at OF Blog of the Fallen has posted his initial thoughts on the book as well.
- Marie Brennan’s latest post at SFNovelists.com poses the question of fellow writers: do you ‘practice’ writing? Marie is also asking for suggestions as to stylistic comparisons of her writing. And you can now hear a flash-fic short story by Marie via the Podcastle podcast.
- Simon Appleby at BookGeeks.co.uk has good things to say about Blood Ties by Pamela Freeman.
