New Accolades for the Rooster King

The reviews are coming in clumps today - a good omen for the Book Expo America, which starts Friday. The first was from DeadRooster (great name, great humor blog, even better review), and the second comes from Odyssey Reviews. But "new accolades" doesn't just refer to another good review -- it actually refers to new accoldaes, as in a new award. Inspired by Cluck, awarded by Odyssey, is the son-to-be-coveted "Award of 'indie' Excellence".


All I can say is, "wow." I'm honored. This is the point where I try to thank everyone who helped, and the TV people have to turn up the music to get me off the stage, because I start blathering.

"Eric D. Knapp's "Cluck: Murder Most Fowl" is one of the best books we've reviewed so far on Odyssey Reviews. This tongue-in-cheek (or beak) work of brilliance will surely make you laugh. The writing is on par with the likes of Terry Pratchett. The story is brilliant, the writing unbelievably good"

A new award, and another comparison to Terry Pratchett (one of my literary heros). I think I'll be celebrating tonight with a martini or ten.
