Sara Paretsky in Booklist.
by rogernmorris at 14:33 on 17 May 2012

I spotted this article by Sara Paretsky in the American Librarians' journal Booklist (don't ask!) - I think she makes some excellent points and I personally found it inspiring. Hope others do too! http://www.booklistonline.com/The-Written-Word-Sara-Paretsky/pid=5400481

I’ve always wanted to know the truth, that slippery, unknowable trickster, about myself for starters, and the past, and the stars—how can light a billion miles away look like a jeweled piece of fruit you might pluck from the night sky?

What a gorgeous line from that piece. Thanks for posting, Roger.

Booklist just gave Tell the Wolves I'm Home a lovely starred review, so I'm a big fan!

Fantastic! Was it in this latest edition? Is it online? They've reviewed my new one in the May 15 edition, which was why I was browsing it, but I can't find it online yet.

Yup, I'm in May 15th. You can see the start of the review on the site, but to read the whole thing you have to be a subscriber. What's the title of yours?

Mine's called Summon Up The Blood - but it isn't showing up when I do the search. My ed told me it would be in May 15. Maybe not. Congrats on your starred review! I love the sound of your book...

Thank you! Hmmm, my editor had been sent a copy of the review in early May with the info that it would be in the May 15th issue.

Just been told that my review has been moved to the July edition. As the book comes out in the US in August, it probably makes more sense.
