I love Ruby Slippers, Golden Tears. I'm a little less than midway through the book, and with each tale I read I think that it must be the best one yet, until I read the next.

Absolutely wonderful!

Ooh --I hope the contributors all come by --that's what writers and editors love to hear :-)
thanks

Ellen, I just finished RUBY SLIPPERS, GOLDEN TEARS, and must tell you that I cannot remember ever having loved an original fantasy anthology quite as much as I love this one! I turned the final page while shedding a few tears of my own. Absolutely stunning!

I will have my blog and Amazon review of it posted by the end of the week, perhaps sooner. I'll let you know when it's up.

And now I must buy SNOW WHITE, BLOOD RED and BLACK THORN, WHITE ROSE. I am in awe....Please let Terri Windling know.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I'll surely pass this on to Terri. She's not online as much as I am, so I doubt she's sees what the blogosphere says about our books.

I don't see the review on amazon--does it take awhile for them to show up?

Usually they post them right away, but this one they haven't posted yet. Go figure. It's Amazon. The review will most likely be up by tomorrow, I hope.

The post is up at amazon this morning, and I unlocked my lj post...stupid me! I didn't realize the post was friends-locked unitl just now!

Ah --that's why Susan Palwick couldn't read it :-)

Susan Palwick should be able to read it now. I liked "The Real Princess" very much.

I cut and pasted the review to her in an email before you let me know why she couldn't see it...thanks.

Sorry for taking so long on this; hopefully it was worth the wait. I know how it is with outstanding reviews :)

Thank you so much for all the time you took to read and review the book--it sounds like you enjoyed a good chunk of it.
I'll post the link in my post above...
