a review

Over at lastshortstory , Mister Payne picked my offering in Clockwork Phoenix as one of 2 standouts (the other being by Kathy Sedia, but we already know what a good writer she is):

And Cat Sparks‘ Palisade is a gruesome and unpleasant story of planetary colonialism, mixing nineteenth century brutality and conquest with a science fiction background. It’s done believably, and it’s a nasty and effective piece.

Yup, nasty and effective — thats what I strive for.

In other news, I’m utterly buggered after spending most of the weekend working on fixing the boring bits up the front third of novel #1. Methinks its time to make a Burmese chicken curry.

Also, blimey its been cold today. I’ve had the heater on, but I thought it was supposed to be summer!
