Climbing "Raven's Ladder"

My birthday was a month ago, but a bunch of gifts have arrived in November... thoughtful comments from a few readers who have read Raven's Ladder. And I'm grateful.

Here's what they're saying...

Kathy Tyers, author of Shivering World and the Firebird series:

R.J. Anderson, author of Faery Rebels: Spell Hunter:

Andrew Peterson, singer/songwriter and author of North! Or Be Eaten and On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness:

S. D. Smith, author of The Fledge Chronicles serial: “Raven's Ladder is a fantasy gem. The story is imaginative and truthful, the characters authentic and complex. Jeffrey Overstreet has given us a gift—a fully realized world teeming with life and wonder. It is a fully human tale, with a penetrating glory throughout. Here is a heaping portion of truth, beauty, and goodness.”

Esther Maria Swaty, Seattle City Guide Examiner:

And speaking of gifts, Anne and I spent some of our holiday today gathering and crafting Christmas gifts for family and friends. If you're looking for Christmas-gift ideas, how about this: Pick up copies of Auralia's Colors (book) (ebook) and Cyndere's Midnight (book) (ebook), and include a note that lets the recipient know that if they start reading right away, they'll be ready for the third one when it arrives in stores in mid-February.
