Well that’s a bit of a load off.

Thunder Road has its first review in. And it’s a good one. Today the Winnipeg Free Press called the book “a creative fantasy” and “an excellent first novel” saying it “delivers fast-paced action and witty dialogue.” You can read the entire review here.

Another nice surprise was to see Thunder Road atop the local sales chart again. It was a good week for Manitoban writers, as Thunder Road was joined by Katherena Vermette’s North End Love Songs, David Annandale’s Gethsemane Hall, and Jeffrey John Eyamie’s Zombie Princess Apocalypse. David’s book is one of the spookiest reads I’ve had in a long time, and after attending Katherena’s launch, I’m definitely looking forward to reading more of her poetry.

So, I’m sorry lovers of bondage and Twilight fan-fic, you’ll have to wait at least one more week for 50 Shades of Grey to return to the top. But fair warning, I don’t plan on leaving quietly…
