Steven Pirie, author of Digging Up Donald, which is one of my favorite books of all time, posted a review of "The Fall" on his blog today.  This is a fantastic review - though there are spoilers, so if anyone doesn't want to know anything that happens in the book, keep that in mind.

Review of The Fall on Blowing Bubbles

For any who haven't seen the front page, we now have a trailer for the first book.  Check it out below.

Now, we here at TRO have started to make available a series of novel tie-in merchandise.  Simply visit the TRO Store and peruse the four items now available.  They are produced through Zazzle.com, and the products this company produces are all top-notch.

So come on, buy some stuff!  Show your support on the streets of your town, and help make this grassroots effort come alive.

Soon, folks.

Well, we got the first little write-up of the book, and it's from my friend and the novel's first editor, Michelle Howarth.  She is declining to review it until she's re-read the story (while finally not having to stare at a glowing screen), but she was nice enough to link our site (and The Fall's product page on the Brit Amazon), so take a look if you like.  Also, put aside the time to peruse some of Shelly's own work.  She's one of the most talented young authors I've ever met, and her sense of humor is sublime.

You can visit the site by clicking on this sentence and then go to her reading/reviews section.

Let's keep it going.

Yesterday, we two particulars got together and trudged through some technical issues that needed rehashing, which means the Amazon store should be back up and running again.  There might be a slight delay between the actions of ourselves and the publishers, however, so even if you head over there and find it "NOT AVAILABLE", don't worry about it; it'll be back up soon.

We've been stuck on 18 sales for a few days now.  I am not depressed by this.  It is a slow process, this building of a readership.  Once the first round of reviews come in, we'll start our advertising campaign.  After all, Clive Barker didn't just suddenly appear out of nowhere.  He had to work at it.  And work at it we will.  Then...it's off to the races, my dearies. 

We WILL do this.  I guarantee you.
