Another Review!

Saturday, July 17th, 2010

It took a while, but it feels like the reviews for Zerah’s Chosen are finally coming in. It’s so thrilling to know that people are enjoying your characters as much as you do! Check it out!

“I found this book fascinating because it was about an old world that had a lot of history. [...] Ms Santiago’s characters are strong, well-defined and determined to do the right thing. They have conflicts, there is jealousy, there is hate, and there is love. [...] The ending in this one will leave you yearning for the next book.” - Aloe, 4 Suns, Aurora Reviews

This, along with the fact that I’m coming off of a nasty writing slump has been music to my soul. I’ve been rereading my YA fantasy and falling in love with it, despite my exhaustion (I’m putting my condo on the market and trying to buy a house! Man, is it draining!).

I have been posting regularly over at Hollow Tree. I hope you guys will swing by and see me. :) Have a great weekend.

Zerah’s Chosen Gets Its First Review!

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Soleil Noir from Beyond the Invisible was kind enough to review Zerah’s Chosen!

“And it is one hell of a tale that Miss Santiago tells with a surprising amount of passion for a YA novel.

I’m not talking about eroticism, I’m talking about characters who believe in their causes. I’m talking about two teenagers in the throes of adulthood caught up in duty,honor and the expectations of others, but unable to deny their attraction and growing fondness for one another. [...] And as a bonus, the supporting cast were a fun lot! That always makes me happy.”

Looking for Book Money?

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Angela Korra’ti is holding an awesome contest!

Anyone who reviews or rates either any Drollerie Press work, and sends her proof that they have done so, will be entered in a random drawing for a $20 gift certificate to the book vendor of your choice. In particular, if you select Drollerie, this’ll be twenty bucks you can spend on a whole bunch of tasty on-sale ebooks!

Here are the types of evidence of reviews/ratings she will accept:

  1. Links to review posts on your own journals or blogs
  2. Links to review posts on appropriate forums
  3. Links to review posts on Goodreads, LibraryThing, or other similar sites
  4. Links to reviews on Drollerie’s site, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Powell’s, or any other vendor where Drollerie works are sold
  5. If you’re a customer on a site where you may only rate rather than review a book, get her a screenshot of whatever you had to do to rate the book. (Be sure to blur out any personal information on the screenshot before you send it, though.)

Note also that while good reviews are shiny, honest reviews are shinier, so please be sure to post your actual, legitimate thoughts on the works in question! The important thing is that you help spread the word about Drollerie’s books.

She will accept entries until Saturday, October the 10th. Please send your entries either in the form of email to annathepiper AT gmail DOT com with the subject line “Review Contest”!

Reviews Galore

Saturday, August 8th, 2009

Surfacing has been reviewed!

It received 3 cups of coffee from Coffee Time Romance:

This is an interesting story of love lost and found again. [...] The author does a good job of describing a woman torn between her soulmate and the man she promised to marry.

It received 4.5 books from Long and Short Romance Reviews:

The characters were well developed, making it easy to put yourself in their shoes. I especially loved the haunted feel of Paige’s character prior to Xen showing back up in her life. The author did a wonderful job describing the heroine’s thoughts and feelings, the words forming pictures as clear as day.

Star-crossed lovers, raw emotion, and a love that transcends times and space… Surfacing is a story about the love of a lifetime. Don’t miss out on what could be one of the best stories of your life.

I’m also up for Book of the Week at Long and Short Reviews! (Soooooo exciting!) Vote for me:

And finally, I got a great reader review:

Ms Santiago tells a story that makes you want to slit your wrist, jump of joy, and hold on to the ones you love all at the same time. [...] This book picks at your emotions like a vulture picking at it’s scavenged prey.
