Book Reviews Here's what Kimberly Lundstrom at The Fix had to say about my story "The Islands of Hope" in the Fantasist Enterprises' anthology Sails and Sorcery: Tales of Nautical Fantasy : "Miller’s prose is clear, bold, and direct. She introduces us to a realistic, interesting, sympathetic character in Julian, whose motivations are believable and clearly communicated in a tale that arcs gracefully through conflict and complications, and comes to its inevitable, but still unexpected conclusion." Thank you, Kimberly. This is the first time my story has been mentioned in one of the reviews. Thanks to Paul S. Kemp , who also received praise for his story "The Spinner" , for finding this review.
