Prospero Regained has received some really nice reviews…and some really nice in person reactions from people eager to read it–including people who had been totally uninterested in the fact that I wrote books…until they started reading them.

The kind folks at the wonderful website Magical Words, a site for writers maintained by authors David B. Coe, Faith Hunter, Misty Massey, A.J.
