So they say that once you’ve been released, it’s a good idea to Google your name periodically, to find out who’s talking about you. Since Alien Communion is my first release, I know I won’t be showing up many places yet - I’m a relative n00b and quite unknown still. So I took that advice to periodically Google my name.

Periodically being every five minutes during the day, and sometimes in the middle of the night when I get up to pee.

Imagine my surprise when I found out my name had appeared somewhere! I found I’d been reviewed by Euro-Reviews, and called Mr. Xandra to tell him.

Mr. Xandra, being the pragmatic and connected soul that he is, read the review and said, “So…does this mean you’re big in Germany? Y’know, like David Hassellhoff?”

“Honey, I think they’re in the Netherlands. All their ads are in Dutch.” See, I can tell this, because it says, “Reviews in Dutch” right on the front page.

But then, Mr. Xandra is persistently distracted by my cover on a regular basis. “Think there’s more than a passing resemblance to the hero?” he asks.

“Only the horns, my love.”

But you aren’t here to read the rest of that conversation (and no, I’m not sharing! My mom reads this blog…or so she says…) - see a select bit of what Annie at Euro-Reviews has to say:

“I really enjoyed this book and yes, it will be a re-reader. I highly recommend it, and I believe it will appeal to many more readers than just those who prefer Futuristic or SciFi genres.” — Annie, Euro-Reviews
