Today is the official publication of The Never-Ending Sacrifice. Yay me. Here is a jolly nice review.

To mark the occasion, I have treated to myself to a vanity website, which you will be able to see here as soon as the internet updates itself. In the meantime, you can sneak preview here. Hie thee over and let me know what you think.

Jolly good! I like the Cambridge-themed layout of your new website in particular.

(Will you still remain part of the Livejournal crowd, though?)

Just one of the free themes available at WordPress, but I did like it, particularly as we're heading into autumn.

I will certainly remain part of the LJ crowd! I wanted something more directly connected to my name.

Ah. so that's where your LJ icon comes from. Gorgeous cover, and this line from the review "“The Never Ending Sacrifice” is unlike any Star Trek book I have ever read before" must have made your day. Congrats, Una. I'm just off to visit your site now.

Well, as long as it doesn't put off people who liked the Star Trek books they've read before... but yes, excellent review!

Go Altariel! A jolly nice review indeed! And a jolly nice website -- the picture is beautiful and it's interesting to read your views on your fanfiction.

Thank you, EA! Just a free WordPress theme on the website, but I thought it was a lovely picture. Glad you liked the fanfic piece. (And keep an eye on the post.)

;-) I'm afraid all the unicorns were killed in the first round of Jem'Hadar purges.

That's a wonderful review! Congratulations on that, and on the publication itself!

Thanks for the pointer to your site! That's a nice WP theme - and a nice photo of you, too.

That's a lovely website - and a lovely review - and by the way, if you hadn't done so yourself, I'd be tempted to icon your very lovely cover :)

Yay you indeed, with thirty times three!!!

Thank you so much! It was really very tricky doing an icon, actually, I bet you would have seen an image in it straight away.

I am definitely looking forward to this book. Havetogetit havetogetit havetogetit!! Is it coming out in electronic format? If or when it is, I'm hoping that it won't be a secure .PDF format, since they haven't bothered to make that accessible to the blind. Actually, I'd really prefer unsecure .LIT files, since I can convert them to .txt and read them that way.

I really do have to catch up on this series, though. The last book I read was S.D. Perry's book Unity. I'm actually rereading that one because I love it so much. Also, it's been a long time since I actually read the books in chronological order.

BTW, are you still writing LotR fanfic?
From: [identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com
Wahey! It's out in a Kindle edition on Amazon; also check here. I can really recommend the Terok Nor trilogy, about the Cardassian occupation of Bajor.

I'm not really writing any fanfiction at the moment while I try to get an original novel finished.

How exciting and congrats to you again! Must order my copy soon...

And very wise to take control of your Google reputation by having an official site! Will we also hear you Tweeting?

Date: 2009-08-28 03:30 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com
Thank you! :-D

Tweeting... hmm, that strikes me as a massive time-sink. If I do, I promise not to blog round-ups on LJ ;-D

Lovely website and congratulations on the review!

I'm having a leedle problem with Amazon UK. When I search for your name, the book title doesn't come up. When I search for the book title, the blurb some way down the page says that Kevin Ryan is the author. ??? Hopefully it's just teething problems!

Thank you!

The UK publication date is technically Oct 5th, which might explain the search problems at Amazon UK. But the page is here (though you might want to nip over to Amazon Marketplace and get it from the Book Depository).

The Kevin Ryan thing is driving me nuts: I can't change it in their author form, and emails asking them to update the information have so far gone unanswered. Gah!

Bloody hell, you rock! I mean, I knew that, but what a fabtastic review! (That was a typo, but I'm leaving it, because your awesomeness can only be conveyed through NEOLOGISM.)

And what a pretty website. ::envious:: I should hie me over to Wordpress where all the cool kids are - maybe after Christmas, when I hope to have finished both Teh Book and the Giant Fic O Doom, and will have spare hours here and there again... (what I do wif em?)

I am feeling pretty chuffed, I have to admit.

Currently deeply immersed in Teh Book and in awe of your BRANEZ. Will complete this first orientation read, then work through again for note-making purposes. Aiming to get something to you mid-Sept, if that's OK?
