Paul Tremblay and I share our own genre: Captivating Fiction!

Author and prolific social media presence Robert N. Lee has a glowing review of Chasing the Dragon over at his Google+ page. Here’s the pull-quote:

I read Chasing the Dragon, finally, this morning. And it’s pretty great, not really a zombie story so much (but they’re in it, called “meat puppets” here, with good reason) as a little piece of an honest to god saga. I wished there were more books, or more of this one that had fallen out the back, at least, when I got done….Nice work.

You can see the full post by clicking the link above — though I should warn you, the comments devolved rather quickly into a discussion of the ’80s pop bands Saga and Asia, for some reason. Ah well. It’s better than talking about reading, I guess!

The website Nerfreader has some nice things to say about Iambik’s Chasing the Dragon audiobook:

I would love a prequel following Georgia before the events in Chasing the Dragon. Some of it is provided in flashbacks, and it would be great to learn more about the person Georgia was before she became so numb. I love how the story starts in the middle of the action, and we learn about Georgia and her motives as it moves along….overall I’m glad I met Georgia and would like to see her again.

Although, like most people who’ve read it, the reviewer thinks the book is too short. I take that as a compliment, every time. If readers want to spend more time with my characters in the world I’ve created for them, how could I not take it as a compliment? (The reviewer also got a little confused by the mythology I created. First time I’ve heard that from anyone, but note to self: Next time make mythology clearer.)

The reviewer also thought it was odd to have a man narrating the audiobook when both the major characters are female, but just as it did for me and the fine folks at ChiZine Publications, Alex Foster’s superlative delivery quickly squashed any doubts. (I want Foster to narrate all my audiobooks!)

Remember, you can buy the Chasing the Dragon audiobook from Iambik in a number of formats. And of course the trade paperback and eBook editions are still available as well.
