There’s probably a reason Fifty Shades of Grey was published in the month of June and Ulysses came out in February.” Thus spake The Toronto Star in its June 28, 2013 essay, “The Best of Summer Reading,” which included a list of the top 20 books for summer reading. I was very happy to see that my novel, Muse, was on the list and also to read the first review of Muse, by Joan Givner, in the Summer 2013 issue of BC Bookworld. Thank you, Joan, for the nice things you say about my novel. The review is on page 22 of this on-line copy.
