A couple of instances of ego-bookery popped up on the radar during my trip eastward. First, Portland Book Review gave it good press, here:
The book quickly becomes hard to put down, as the tension develops on a number of different fronts. … The only disappointment was when the story came to an end because the reader is left feeling hungry for more of the wonderful experience this book provides.
Also, Audible.com has just released an audio version of the book! I’m so excited! I can hardly wait to hear it. The narrator is Cassandra Campbell, who has also narrated THE IMMORTAL LIFE OF HENRIETTA LACKS, among many others. Here are more details on the audio version of UP AGAINST IT by yours truly. You will need to first create an Audible.com account, which is free.
I love this book. I am a die hard sci fi fan fan and this was easily one of the best I’ve read in the last decade. Very difficult to put down. PLEASE write another book . I bought this at a library sale for a buck and after reading I am full of guilt at such a pitiful price. 🙂
~new fan,

Colleen, M.J. Locke has a number of other books under the name Laura J. Mixon, too — so no need to wait!
Colleen, thanks for dropping by! Glad you enjoyed UAI. I’ve just gotten to work on its sequel. 🙂
