Wandered into the bookstore the other day and saw this:

SHADOWHEART, featuring Aidan Moher

It’s a blurb from my review of SHADOWHEART by Tad Williams, right there at the top of the list and alongside some pretty heavy hitting and well known critics. I nearly dropped the book on the floor when I saw it.

I’ve had quotes from my reviews included in novels before, but they’ve always been on the inside (this blurb’s on the cover!) novels that I’d enjoyed, but didn’t necessarily mean a whole lot to me. This, however, is a whole different ball game. Tad Williams is one of my absolute favourite genre writers and has long been an inspiration to myself as both a reader and a writer. I look forward to his new releases with anticipation that’s rivalled by few other authors. To now be a part (however small) of his novel is an absolute honour.

Now, go read his Shadowmarch series. It’s really good.

I’m probably the only person in the world who cares about this, but it was too cool not to blog about. So over the top and cheezy, but also seems shockingly faithful to the original videogames. I’m a huge sucker for the Gyakuten Saiban/Phoenix Wright series, so you can be damn sure that I’ll hunt down a fan-subbed edition of this film once it’s been released.
