Dovegreyreader, too, tips Doctor Forrest...

The estimable dovegreyreader wrote a very kind and considered notice on my Crusaders back in February 2008, and I'm pleased to (belatedly) catch up with the news that she's keeping the faith in my stuff, by way of her preview of a few 2011 fiction lists (amusingly headlined 'Reasons to be Cheerful about Publishing'...) in which she highlights The Possessions of Doctor Forrest (scroll down) amid the Faber schedule.
Picture above is, of course, of a forest - or a dark wood - or selva oscura, if you will...

dovegreyreader...

...is a name in the blogosphere that has started to crop up in my field of vision with increasing regularity: a Devonshire "bookaholic"/community nurse, who runs a very diligent and involving blog on what she's reading, i.e. seemingly just about every bit of fiction that's being published into bookstores. She posted the following in respect of Crusaders, and I have to say I'm very glad of the courtesy and consideration shown. Even had she been less keen on the novel... I hope I would still have had the courtesy in return to say: books and reading clearly need more advocates of her sort out there.
