Positive reader feedback is always “the best”—but when another author not only reads and likes your work but tells the world so, that’s always extra special.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Yesterday, I recapped Abhinav Jain’s<\/a> “Names A New Perspective”<\/strong> guest author series, here<\/a>—and one of the fellow authors whose post I really enjoyed was Courtney Schafer<\/strong> on Building Fantasy Worlds One Name At A Time<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

In fact we enjoyed each others posts so much that we agreed to do an author book swap—and you will recall that I posted on Courtney’s books arriving just last week, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But Courtney (possibly because she is a mountain climber and figure skater! ;-)) has “leapt in” ahead of me and already finished both The Heir of Night<\/em><\/strong> and The Gathering of the Lost<\/em><\/strong>!<\/p>\n

You can read what she has to say Here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Although I guess you already know from my intro that she enjoyed the books, but nonetheless, here’s the summary version:<\/p>\n

“So if you’ve any fondness for epic fantasy, I highly recommend you give the Wall of Night series a try. \u00a0I had a wonderful time reading both Heir<\/strong> and Gathering<\/strong>, and can’t wait for the next novel in the series…so write faster, Helen!”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

(I’m doing my best, honest!–says Helen: but I do want Daughter of Blood<\/em> to be ‘just as good if not better’ than Heir<\/em> and Gathering<\/em>…)<\/p>\n

In the meantime, do check out Courtney’s post and have a look at her website, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
