Early Praise For Descent: A Stone Mountain Mystery #1 7/6/2015 12:10:00 PM
On the twisted and bumpy trail of getting published, I’ve sent out my advanced reader copy of DESCENT for review by other authors. The idea is to get a blurb for DESCENT that can be published with the novel and used for marketing in the early days of release.
As difficult as it was to ask others to read and create a one to two-line sentence about DESCENT, I’m glad I did. Three talented Canadian mystery authors took time out their busy schedules to help me out. I’ve read every book by each of the authors and have been a long time fan of all three. Imagine how great I felt have them not only read DESCENT but then to write such wonderful reviews for me.
Here is what I received (in alphabetical order) from Brenda Chapman, Barbara Fradkin, and Garry Ryan::
Brenda Chapman: Award winning author of the Stonechild and Rouleau Mysteries.
“Murder rocks the competitive ski world in Stanley’s layered tale with enough suspects to keep readers guessing until the last chilling chapter.”
Barbara Fradkin: Author of the Inspector Green Mysteries and two-time winner of the Arthur Ellis Award for Best Novel.
“In this impressive debut, Kristina Stanley weaves a vivid, chilling tale of jealousy, secrets, and betrayal in a close-knit mountain ski village. Like its likeable young heroine, Kalin Thompson, DESCENT is both tender and tough.”
Garry Ryan: Award-winning author of the Detective Lane mysteries and Blackbird trilogy.
“From the first line, you’re strapped into a Stanley novel. Just turn the page, hang on, and enjoy the ride.”

Cold Mourning,
My Sister’s Keeper,

If you haven’t read my blog before, I’ve signed on with Imajin Books and will blog about my publishing adventure. I’ll share what I learn and hope it helps someone out there get their novel published.
