A lovely review in for The Wolf’s Mate from ireadromance.com
“Long has a wonderful gift when it comes to creating the fantasy world and weaving a tale which tests her own characters’ strengths. Shan and Jeren had a lot thrown at them, it almost seems every five pages another conflict was added to the mix. Looking back on it the romance actually sits quietly in the background while the growth of Jeren is very much at the forefront. I look forward to the next chapter in Jeren and Shan’s quest for happiness.” ~ Natalie, rating 3
Many thanks Natalie.
I got home this morning to a lovely (and early) review for The Wolf’s Mate.
“It’s well written, fast paced and filled with interesting and unique characters….The best part of the story is Jeren herself. I liked her in The Wolf’s Sister but in this release, she really grows and shines, as she turns into a confident and determined woman, willing to fight for her man. I’m very curious to see what happens to these two mates with the next and last release.” – 4 Nymphs, Mystical Nymph, Literary Nymphs Reviews Only
You can read the full review on their site, but I’m delighted. It’s like an early Christmas present!
The Wolf’s Mate: a Tale of the Holtlands comes out in January.
I’m still a little shaky (there may be typos).
The Scroll Thief on Fantasy Book Review.
“an enjoyable, entertaining romp through the bloodstained streets of a city rife with ethnic hatred, soul sucking witches and councillors who don’t know quite what they’ve let themselves in for…”
7/10 – that’s kind of awesome, right?
Thanks Julia!
A Super 5 Cherries review for Soul Fire came in this morning from Whipped Cream Erotic Romance Reviews:
“Let me start by saying “wow!”…R.F. Long has the amazing ability to drag her readers into the story and carry them along for the ride. The characters were unique and out of this world, yet they seemed like someone you could get along with and have fun with… If you want to read something mind-blowing and incredible then I would recommend you read this story.” ~~ Tulip, Whipped Cream Erotic Romance Reviews – read the full review here.
I’m delighted. Just what a girl needs to sooth frazzled nerves before a book launch. 
Soul Fire is currently available as an ebook from Samhain, Amazon’s Kindle, and other online retailers and will be released as a print book on the 1st of May 2010.
It’s always lovely to log on in the morning and find a Google alert about a nice review (less pleasant, of course, is to find one with a bad review, but hey, it means people are reading!)
Natalie from Ireadromance.com reviews Soul Fire.
“a great fast read, like a snowball rolling and constantly gaining momentum.”
Happy day!
And just in case you need something else to cheer you up Cute Overload has a weird but cute cat whose intellectual powers appear to rival even those of our very own Patchwork Cat!
I promise to do a post of photos from France soon. I just haven’t got round to it as yet.
Another great review for The Wolf’s Sister, this time from Literary Nymphs.
“This author is new to me, and I’m pleased with the tightly constructed plot, smooth flow and nice job of describing the two races that are the focus of this story. Add in animal totems, vastly differing belief systems, death, anger, madness, betrayal and unexpected love and you have all the components needed for an entertaining afternoon read. I look forward to seeing where this series goes.”
And it got 4 Nymphs!!! Not sure where they are or what they are up to, but it certainly sounds good to me!
Fallen Angel Reviews just gave The Wolf’s Sister a 5 angels review and marked it as a recommended read! Woot!
“The fascination that I first felt when I had the chance to read the blurb for this book was well justified. Riveted from the first page to the last I was looking for more and became frustrated when the story ended. This book was very exciting, the way the plot played out was thoroughly engrossing, and the characters displayed very real emotions…I love to read books that make me feel the emotions that the players experience, be it fear, pain, anger, happiness, sorrow and frustration. The battles that these two go through make you ask yourself what next and when will it end, but the ending is very rewarding. Overall, I could read this book repeatedly and find something new in it. Thanks to R. F. Long for a very wonderful read.”
Google alerts took its time, but I got a mail this morning with a link to a review of The Wolf’s Sister.
“I haven’t read such a beautifully written tale in a very long time!…Author R.F. Long’s technique, descriptions, dialogue, and plot flow are superb. The seed of love grows with the characters and that element is what allows this story to shine because the external conflicts held that much more impact on the tale’s outcome. I’m impressed and I will definitely be reading more from this author!”
Thank you so much Natalie.
I had a lovely comment waiting for me this morning (it’s under my first ever post here):
Hi,
A review for The Wolf’s Sister is now online at PNR Reviews:

and its a nice review too… “a wonderful start to the series”
Also up to day is the almost infamous “ghost post” at Texty Ladies. I mentioned in my interview with Jane about various ghost sightings and she asked for more information. She opened the call last week to Texty Ladies readers and the result is up today. It makes for some interesting and spooky reading!
A few more edits for The Scroll Thief are underway, and I’ve seen the design for the cover. It’s gorgeous… no.. it’s GORGEOUS!
