Bettie Sharpe is STILL Awesome

Damnitall, I’m going to sound like a fangirl at this rate. Anyway, I’d intended to post a review of Demolition Desserts today. Instead, I got sucked into reading Bettie’s Like a Thief in the Night last night and just couldn’t stop. Now I can’t get it out of my head. She’s a little like Anne Bishop with her amazing and larger-than-life characters. She’s a little like Tim Powers with her ability to create her own mythologies. But really, the best compliment I can give her is that her voice is her own. She’s Bettie Sharpe, and even though she’s only published one free ebook and one for-pay ebook, that’s a very recognizable style and voice.

    “the best compliment I can give her is that her voice is her own” That is the best compliment. The absolute best! Thanks, Heather. :)

    You’re welcome! I can be, uh, rather critical, so I just love finding authors whose work sweeps me up so thoroughly that I’m no longer noticing the mechanics of the story rather than just feeling it.
