The Crimson Shadow

[altariel]

My new book Star Trek: The Fall - The Crimson Shadow is out now in both the UK (today) and the US (from last week), and it's getting very nice reviews.



It has also - rather excitingly - appeared in the New York Times bestseller list. I'll take that, thank you very much!

Still no post... Fenric arrived while I was in Germany, where I had to make do with Jeanette Winterson!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I hope she was sufficient!

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

She did very well. It was The Passion so some magical realism. And I've now had an email saying The Crims is on the way, though not how long it will take.

Red and gold and silver, oh my!

I am glad to hear it's getting nice reviews. And that it's bestselling too. I hope you are preening yourself.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I'm preening between naps!

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Woo-hoo!

How are you, by the way?

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Very well, if tired. Just started maternity leave, so I hope to update soon.

Ta missus! Very pleased!

[ideealisme.livejournal.com]

Congrats! That's great!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Chuffed to bits!

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

That's great news. Congratulations!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Wow, I had no idea it was possible for a Star Trek book to get on the NY Times bestseller list. Congrats.

Amazon seem to have decided that since it's now out they'll actually post it next week, rather than next month(!).

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Yes, several of my colleagues have been there already. Covers with Picard or Spock sell very well, apparently!

Good old Amazon!

[trixieleitz]

Hurray! Well done you! :)

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! I'm dying from envy over here. ;)

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Don't die! :-D

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[vasiliki.livejournal.com]

So perfect!!! :D

[altariel.livejournal.com]

:-D

[wormwood-7.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! All well otherwise?
Quite pleased myself. I've had 5 of my stories published over the last year, in a small way.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Oh, that is fantastic news! Published in English?

All good here!

[wormwood-7.livejournal.com]

In English, yes. Here's a link to two flash fictions (can't resist)

Glad you're doing well :)

[altariel.livejournal.com]

They read really well. (Shades of Boromir in Odysseus?) Congrats again!

[wormwood-7.livejournal.com]

Yes, a bit of Boromir :) I kind of hoped you would notice. Delighted you like them! Thanks so much for reading.

[jthijsen.livejournal.com]

I just checked your name in the kobo store and yes, I can buy your books as ebooks. One of them has even been translated to German! I'm very impressed and will definately start adding your books to my library as soon as I can.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Yes, "The Lotus Flower" is out in German. The German covers are particularly lovely!

[edge-of-ruin.livejournal.com]

Forget about the New York Times you're in the Cambridge News ;-)

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Ha! You've seen that!

Cascade of praise

[tinsnip.livejournal.com]

I read "The Crimson Shadow" in approximately five hours. I'm still a bit breathless.

Thank you, _thank_ you for writing Elim Garak so very, very well. Both he and Cardassia are in good hands if you're the one writing them. It's such a delight.

I've been howling about your book both during and after the reading over on my tumblr (tinsnip.tumblr.com), which may or may not be of interest to you.

And now I learn that you're a Bujold fan as well...?

I simply cannot believe that you are real.

Thank you, thank you so much!

Congratulations! I just found out who you are... To be honest I actually found this book's info on Amazon when translating Scorched Earth as there's a chapter title using this and I have digged out a lot of reviews on your other books but I didn't bother to check your LJ. I am still kind of in shock.

PS: I sent you an e-mail hours ago before I found this LJ.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Aha! You've found my secret underwater headquarters! I have your email and I'm currently catching up on responses - will try to answer very soon.

[raspberryfool.livejournal.com]

Wow that's fantastic Una; w00T and much yayness, well done! :-D

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Ta very much!
