Charles de Lint reviews The Silence of Trees for The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction
Mar/04/2011
This week, Charles de Lint reviewed my novel, The Silence of Trees, for the March/April issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. The review begins:"Before starting this book, I wasn't familiar with either Valya Dudycz Lupescu or Chicago's Wolfsword Press. But I'm happy to have that corrected, because I want to read more of Lupescu's work..." You can read the rest here.
I thought back to my twelve-year-old self sitting on a swing in the backyard of our Chicago bungalow, reading Yarrow and dwelling so completely in Cat's dreamworld.
Reading Charles de Lint's review is one of those moments I'll treasure, like handing Neil Gaiman (whose storytelling I have loved since college) a copy of The Silence of Trees. There's something so wonderful about being able to share one's published work with a literary hero. After having lived in their stories, I get to invite them into mine.
