“I was thrilled with Jeyran’s review of ‘Netwalking Space’! While it is part of a series, I tried to write it as a standalone. Jeyran’s review made me confident that I was able to pull that piece off, which makes me very happy. A very pleasant person to work with and a lovely review. Thank you so much Jeyran.

Thank you for reviewing my book and all the others on your wonderful site.”
