The Before Time By W. G. Sweet (Author) Format: Kindle Edition In the epoch before epochs, before the first star ignited or the first whisper of thought coalesced, there existed a state of being so profound, so utterly complete, that it defied definition.

I loved everything about this book! Tone, mystery, humor...
The story is well written, perfectly balanced, and so ridiculously sarcastic and funny.
All the twists and turns are unpredictable and breathtaking.
Hats off for the last couple of chapters and the ending. Simply spectacular!

I blushed at this praise from Laura Warrell, who captivated me with her sensual & insightful novel β€œSweet, Soft, Plenty Rhythm.” She knows erotic when she sees it.

Laura will be in conversation with me at Octavia’s Bookshelf on 6/1 at 6pm - RSVP today - tr.ee/HOBOm9

At Doric Literary, we've made a bit of money through an editing gig, on the side - so we've raised our payment rate!

It is still a very meagre honorarium but we hope this is the start of a trend.
