Errant Dreams gave me a smashing review (http://www.errantdreams.com/reviews/2008/04/30); Edwin Turner at biblioklept (http://biblioklept.org/2008/04/30 writes:”…for all its monsters and perverts and manic depressive, (Down to a Sunless Sea) is never cruel in its darkness or unsympathetic in its distance. Freese creates real people here, and if we laugh at their pain, we’re laughing with them. Highly recommended.” And Josette of Books Love me, http://www.booksloveme.com/2008/04/27/dom-to-a-sunless-sea-by-mathias-b-freese/says: “Like what I had mentioned earlier, this books gets you thinking and asking questions. . . .”
Additionally, Derek Alger, editor at Pif magazine has completed an interview with me, coming out in June or September; Edwin Turner after reviewing my book has interviewed me as well, all delightful.
Days like the past few are most. What makes me feel even better is that I am receiving testimony to what I came to feel over decades; that I can write; that I write well; that I am a self-taught professional. And what is also so very rich to me is that some reviewers praise my capacity to be empathetic and feeling; that is worth all the riches for me, to be told that I am a mensch. But I know that; it just takes time for the feelings to catch up with the thoughts.
