sansfoy, What is the subject of your book? I'm always interested in reading new material.....please post more information, ok?
It seems like it's out there, now, so oh, well. This is book four in a set of suspense thrillers set in a polygamist enclave. Some Mormons really don't like it, but a lot of Sunstone and NOM types seem to enjoy it. Here is what Laura Compton said in her AML review.

You weren't really interested in taking a strong position on any topic relating to Mitt Romney. You didn't really even talk about your books. You didn't answer the question as to why you were no longer a member of the Church...etc...etc.
Good grief, Bob, this is an interview to plug a book, not a cross examination.
Social skills, Bob, social skills.
Surprise, surprise, there is no divine mandate for the Church to discuss and portray its history accurately. --Yahoo Bot

Sansfoy, I'm about halfway through the audio version of THE WICKED. Great stuff so far. The Book of the Lost...what a cool turn of phrase. A great potential title, too. I also liked the small detail concerning the daguerreotype of Brigham Young in the home of a certain polygamist family--a BY daguerreotype would, of course, be extremely valuable, probably in the neighborhood of several hundred thousand dollars.
So...what exactly does "Sansfoy" mean? Is it French for "One who is without foy"?

What do you think of the narrator? I haven't listened to more than a few snippets as it's kind of painful to hear someone else read your books aloud.

LOL! I wish I had that problem!
Well, I think she does a great job with Eliza's dialog. Eliza's pitch, timbre, and inflections form a picture of a likable busybody. She's intelligent and principled, albeit very naive--notwithstanding her experiences in the previous books. Eliza's voice is rendered in a manner very different from how I imagined it would have sounded, but I find myself liking it very much, nonetheless.
