Turn Left at the Mooncrow Skeleton: Book One of The Firefly Tree by Linda Raedisch

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I still can't figure out how to add pictures to blog posts, so I'm reviewing my own book (Oh look, I gave it five stars!) and linking it to my blog. Who would enjoy this book? Hardly anyone, according to the agents I queried. "Good writing," several of them told me before I decided to go rogue. "Great characters. Intriguing premise. Send me something else instead." So no, I don't expect TLMCS to appeal to the average SF reader. As a very wise person said to me recently, speaking of the current state of science fiction, "We've got too many Tasha Yars and not enough Deanna Trois." If you're looking for another Tasha Yar, you'll be disappointed, but I like to think that my main character, Numi, might someday evolve into a Deanna Troi (she's still pretty young). If you love The Martian Chronicles as much I do, and if you like Becky Chambers, Victoria Raschke, Nathan Ballingrud's The Strange, and Red Valley Podcast, then you might, just might, enjoy Turn Left at the Mooncrow Skeleton.
