Anne Spollen's stunning, subtle debut, The Shape of Water, has earned a starred review in Kirkus. You can read the full review at barnesandnoble.com but here's the gist:
"Spollen interweaves elemental, evocative images of what is formless and boundless-water, air, grief, death-with what is solid and limited-earth, objects, human love and forgiveness. This enchanting novel starts quietly, draws the reader in and weaves a seductive spell that holds until the last page."
This is Flux's first starred review, so double yippee!

Hey wow! Great news! Congratulations!
And I LOVE this cover!
Can't wait to read it.
I've been reading her short stories since she started publishing, and I'm not surprised. She's an AMAZING writer. Really unique and talented. Can't wait for this one. - Brett
Thanks everyone for your comments.
This star is really for everyone at Flux who did such a great job with their suggestions, their collective patience with my technical klutziness, and their belief that this book wasn't too weird to publish.
Anne - I've just ordered it. Being a fellow Piscean, I can't resist things fish-related.
(Amazon says - "Hurry! Only 2 copies left!)
(Yay!)
