Choice Words
Well, as luck would have it, just as soon as I published my first novel, I came down with a wicked cold. Stuffed and
runny nose, aches, fever, and watering eyes. The whole shtick. So, I've been out of commission for a week or more, only rising
from the couch or bed to find a new book to read and to take care of the Frankster. Okay, maybe I did binge-watch the second
season of Orange is the New Black, but only the first nine episodes. And,
oh, I did start a new mystery novel.
The husband and wife authoring team of Charlotte and Aaron Elkins are/is my
favorite purveyors of mystery. Especially the intellectual kind, where you learn bunches lots about milieu and subject. In
this case, the Elkins' Alix London series is about art: Alix is the daughter of a reformed forger and an art conservationist/restorer
in her own right. I am privileged to have been sent an advanced galley of the third novel, The
Art Whisperer, due out in August, which is better than the first two. A really great read which I will fully review
for both this blog and www.authorexposure.com in a week or so.
For now, I must tell you that Aaron, busy author that he is, spent some of his precious time
to read my novel, Forty-Thirty. He just sent me a few choice comments, which I just have to share with you:
“Does life imitate tennis? If you believe June McInerney,
it does. And what's more, in Forty-Thirty, she turns you into
a believer. I suppose you could call it a coming-of-age novel, but this is a bigger book than that, with parallel story lines
and an intricate plot spread across many characters and many decades. McInerney does a fine job of tying everything together...and
somehow managing to do it around the game of tennis (no easy task, if you ask me). As a bonus to the reader, the author's
descriptions of settings, foreign and domestic, are informative, cleverly drawn and lively.”
These are choice words, indeed! And go a long well to dispelling
the last vestiges of my cold. Actually, they have warmed my heart. I hope they do yours, too. Hopefully, enough to inspire
you to, if you've not already done so, wend on over to https://www.createspace.com/4786258 and purchase a copy of Forty-Thirty for yourself.
Thank you.
