Sorry for the slight delay in announcing the winner and in posting an I-CON recap…something big is brewing and I will soon have an announcement – and a new reason for a celebratory contest J  Thank you all so much for your support! 

Finally, I realize that I have never indulged in an official book pimping post for NETHERWOOD…so check out these great reviews:

 “Original, exciting…you can’t stop turning the pages!” —NYT Bestselling author Susan Squires

The two leads are strong, intelligent and likable characters and the action-packed story kept me turning the pages…[T]he human vs. computer struggle woven through the story gives Netherwood a unique and deeply-felt quality which will make it a sure reread for me.—All About Romance

“NETHERWOOD is one of those books that had me going back to re-read sections just for the beauty of the writing itself.  The story and imagery are fascinating…you need to go buy NETHERWOOD.” – The Good, the Bad, and the Unread   

 “Ms. Lang’s writing has always been superb, yet the complexity of this plot and the relationships she has made integral to its furtherance shows that she is light years ahead of the game. Though there are elements of Robin Hood, the Matrix, Braveheart, and the Prisoner, just to name a few things implied in the text, they are freshly blended into something new that will challenge your mind and keep you hooked.” —Eternal Night

“Netherwood is an action romance with many surprises along the way.  Ms. Lang packs this tale with futuristic action, an intriguing storyline and characters that have you cheering on their fight for survival. Netherwood is an entertaining escape into a fascinating future world.”–Darque Reviews

“This book was a great book. How do I measure that, simple I started off reading it last Wednesday and finished it by Wednesday night. This is the kind of book you tell the hubby to pick up Chinese because you’re not going to cook tonight.” –SaraiJ

 “Can I tell you this book totally and completely ROCKS? I mean, from page one, rocks. . . . it’s got this WHOLE other level going on, discussions of the soul, of what makes us human, a love story, all wrapped up in a sci fi book with avatars and “Netherwood.” The book is AWESOME!”   –author Erica Orloff
