In the e-Mail: Queen’s Heir.

Full title: Queen’s Heir: A Fantasy set among the Hittites at the end of the Bronze Age, by John E Boyle. I picked it up because you don’t see that many fantasy novels drawing on the Hittites*, and I was hoping for some Conanesque-style fiction. So far, it’s delivering.

One complaint, though: no map. Or at least I haven’t seen one yet. Minor quibble, though.

*Annnnd, okay, he said nice things about my latest novel TINSEL RAIN. That’s going to be enough to let me grab one of his books, but not enough to keep me reading it, or save time by grabbing the sequel. Queen’s Heir is good stuff.

[UPDATE: Let the record show that I wrote all of this before realizing that it was Constant Reader jeboyle. Anybody else hiding their lights under bushels?]
