I can think of one mystery novel I enjoyed last year, and that was "Roman Blood" by Steven Saylor. I think what pleased me was the setting in ancient Rome more than anything else, though. As am I!

There's an explanation for those masks in the book, though. Travelling from one dimension to another in the book isn't easy, and the body needs to acclimatize. Almost like what happens during an organ transplant - the body rejects it. In the book, people who cross the Fissure find it hard to breathe without the aid of those masks. Good catch, Eva!

I'll be exploring that in my next post. Part of me wonders whether I’m allergic to crime fiction, as the presence of that genre was a big turn-off when I read the book.

So many people have been raving about it I had to wonder if I was missing something, but now I'm just left wondering at the editing process that let this book get published.

I also need to become a lot more informed about the self-publishing industry, because I feel that will be my biggest market - authors who want to publish ebooks. After Christmas, I plan on buying a Kobo. Yes, that’s one goal I forgot to include in the blog post.
