Book Embargo

Fact #1. Harper Collins has a man named Carl who sends us a fax every Monday morning.
Fact #2. Recently there was a conference called the WI, the Winter Institute that many, including Carl, went to

Fact #3. Recommended most strongly by reps at the conference was Outlander by Gil Adamson.

From that review,

The Outlander should be read like the great adventure it is – hang on to your hat and don’t blink in case you miss something!

Here is the Canadian cover, the official US cover has not been released. Our advance cover has a running horse instead of a running woman, and I must say, though I love our ARC cover, I prefer the Canadian cover for the story line.

I was not overwhelmed for the first half to two-thirds of this novel. I liked small aspects but did not love it. I kept at it, and at about two-thirds, when we hear the story of what happened with Mary’s husband, it clicked. I had been reading it quite quickly before, and from then on I devoured it.

I am not going to steal the photo, but I want you to check out a Flickr page with photos from one of Adamson’s signings. Over here at Flickr.com.

Thanks to Carl and those at the WI for the recommendation, and I shall continue it. Pick it up in Mid-April and hold on for a great ride all the way to the LAST sentence.
