My brother posted this link on Facebook today. It’s from a recent news story on a Twin Cities TV station about the sheriff of my home town, where goodness abounds and the writ of Original Sin runs not.
You are interested in this story because it’ll give you some idea of the site of one of your favorite novels, Troll Valley. Which appears to be enjoying a better sales rank than Hailstone Mountain right now, for reasons that pass my comprehension.
Have a good weekend!
Because ‘Troll Valley’ gives the impression of a good bite-sized chunk of an old-fashioned fairy-tale crossed with Harry Potter, with gnomes peeping out from behind mushrooms and the like, and ‘Hailstone Mountain’ sounds like a mountain, which perhaps hails stones. 😛
Infers the need of heavy concentration to read, which is a narrowing market.
Just my two cents. I loved Troll Valley by the way. Haven’t read HM yet, I’m just halfway through ‘The Year of the Warrior’.
Because Troll Valley is a stand alone, and Hailstone Mountain is number whatever of a series, and if someone wants to try a new author, they often get the stand alone.
