Dark Dreamweaver: A new review and an oversight

Liz B., of A Chair, a Fireplace, & a Tea Cozy fame, has posted a review of my husband's book, The Dark Dreamweaver. Liz says, "...there are adventures, challenges, skills to learn, puzzles to work out, and, in true fantasy fashion, a group of newly met friends to help." Read the entire review.

Liz also pointed out that I neglected to post Jen Robinson's review. Jen found "...a lot to like about this inventive story." Read her review here. I'm sorry for my oversight, Jen, but no less grateful!

Thanks so much to Jen and Liz for taking the time to review the book.

Reviews of The Dark Dreamweaver


I wanted to share some of the latest reviews of my husband's book, The Dark Dreamweaver:
  • Becky of Becky's Book Reviews, said, "...there are many other characters, both good and bad, that make this magical read worth the time." Read her entire review.
  • Daisy of Compost Happens (I love the name of her blog!) had this to say:
    I enjoyed The Dark Dreamweaver and look forward to the continuing saga of The Remin Chronicles. I can willingly recommend this book to those who enjoy fantasy, but may not be advanced enough readers to tackle some of the longer books in the genre.
    Read her entire review.
  • A bunch of bloggers in the MotherTalk network reviewed the book a couple of weeks ago. Here's a wrap-up post with links to the original reviews. I'm sorry for not listing each of you individually, but I'm grateful just the same!

Many many thanks to all of you who took the time to read the book and share your thoughts.

Dark Dreamweaver news


I just wanted to share a couple of items of news about my husband's book, The Dark Dreamweaver:
  • My son David created a Dark Dreamweaver calendar at Zazzle.com, using images from the book that he had colorized using Paint Shop Pro. We got an email today that his calendar was selected by Zazzle.com as one of "Today's Best!" The calendar appears on the home page for today, and after that it will stay in their "Today's Best" gallery. There's even a cool little award ribbon that appears on the product page. Click here to see the calendar.
  • Aja King at Reader Views gave The Dark Dreamweaver a great review! Aja said, "If author Nick Ruth wanted to keep me up at night and have me spend every available moment with my nose stuck in his amazing book, “The Dark Dreamweaver,” he totally succeeded!" Read Aja's review here. 11-year-old Aja is also an author; her book is Three Grin Salad.
