PUBLISHERS WEEKLY gives FIRES OF THE GODS a starred review.

[I. J. Parker]

Sorry there is no cover image.  I also don't seem to be able to copy and paste the text.  However, the cover is on my web site and the review will be there soon.  (www.ijparker.com)

Meanwhile, just an observation: What must one do to get a publisher to support a series?  I've raked up national awards and a string of starred reviews, and my Amazon reviews are great.  My sales increase little by little, but publishers like large numbers.  And large numbers happen only to those who get promotion.

 

Never mind.  I'm very pleased and very grateful.  Without reviews there wouldn't even be the shadow of a chance of carrying on with Akitada's exploits.

 

Next time, some observations on reviews.

Thanks, John.  It was a rhetorical question.  :)

Congratulations on the review.

And I have no idea what to do to get a publisher to promote an author ;)
