About time I gave some publicity to the lovely folk who enjoyed my novel and said so. There are more, for another day, but here are a few.
One of my earliest reviews was right after the book came out in December. It was on the Burnbright web site run by Marianne De Pierres, written by a lady called Belinda Hamilton. The same web site did an interview with me as well, which you'll see in the Big 4 Interviews on the left of the page.
I did an interview on 3RRR with Rob Jan, whom I've known forever and who said he'd been relieved to find the book was better than some of the other stuff he had to read as a radio reviewer. Rob actually created a world with me for our fan fiction and the rather silly shaggy unicorn in the novel comes from that universe. His media spec fic program, Zero-G, has been on for years.
The review on Buzzwords was written by Oliver Phomavanh, who is a very funny man and a delightful children's writer in his own right - several of our Year 7 boys are loving his books.
George Ivanoff, who is a children's writer and the only person I know who actually manages to make a living out of his writing, reviewed my book on the blog Literary Clutter, as well as interviewing me on the same site.
Katherine Peterson reviewed the book on Specusphere, the same wonderful web site fellow blogger Satima writes for.
These are some of my egoboo reviews. There are some that are quite good, but hate this or that sentence. There are others that hate the book for one reason or another, including one that said it was badly-written but he couldn't put it down!
As long as he contributes to my royalties. ;-)

I'm glad to learn you're getting lots of reviews, Sue, and that most of them are good ones! Katherine Petersen knows and loves YA and she was quite enrapured by Wolfborn.
I'm just uploaded a new lot of reviews to The Specusphere, which has a brand new look! Check it out at http://www.specusphere.com
Thanks, Satima, will take a look. And for the record, I was quite enraptured with Katherine's review! :-)
