Well done Euro Crime and Maxine and Fiona.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Karen! Well done to you and Euro Crime and Maxine!
ReplyDeleteWow, how exciting, Karen! Thanks for sharing this info. Pity they got the Eurocrime URL wrong in the Ann Cleeves novel. I've seen Norman's name crop up in review quotes at Bitter Lemon, also.
ReplyDeleteAnd Geoff's was in the latest Peter Conway but I don't have that to hand :).
ReplyDeleteThe Shadow quote is very exciting though - back cover no less!
Fantastic stuff. Well done guys. I recently had a similar experience, when I saw the advance review copy of NEVER LOOK AWAY, the latest from Linwood Barclay. Under the critics comments for FEAR THE WORST (his book that came out laster year) in the front part of the book, was one that looked vaguely familiar. Sure enough, oneof the critics quotes was from me - from my review for the Nelson Mail newspaper. I must say I was a little chuffed.
ReplyDeleteImagine my surprise when I skimmed the other quotes taken from NZ and Aust publications, and I then realised that a second was also from me - they'd cherrypicked a comment about his writing that I'd made in an interview feature about him for the Weekend Herald as well!
Hurrah! Excellence in reviewing recognized. That rocks!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's fab. And very exciting for all involved. Congrats. I'd probably die or fall off my chair if I saw one of my reviews quoted on a blurb!
