desperanceAnyone paying attention to these pages will know that my mystery novel Shelter has recently been published in the States. Not many people have actually noticed - yet! - but I thought I might draw your attention to this, from someone who has.

fidelioscabinet gives the book a fabulous review, from which I guess the money shot is this:
"I have had a great deal of trouble putting my reaction to this book into words--it's a very plain story that is very complicated; the language it uses appears to be perfectly clear and simple but this clarity and simplicity is the result of great art. To be blunt, this short novel, masquerading as a sort of mystery, could kick any of the clever things that have clawed their way onto the best-seller lists, or into venues like Oprah Winfrey's reading list, in the slats and leave them wheezing and crying because their glitter had been washed off."
