My first Review
Posted By Kathleen David on May 29, 2008
One of the things waiting for us when we got back home was our author copies of Doctor Who: Short Trips: the Quality of Leadership in which I have a story called “On a Pedestal” and Peter has one called “One Fateful Knight”. It is published by Big Finish and readily available in the UK. For getting a copy in the US, I recommend highly Mike’s Comics who I can also highly recommend for all your Doctor book, audio, and toy needs.
And since I have something published, there is a chance that someone is going to review it which has already happened. You can see the review for the entire anthology on the website Unreality-Sf
The short review by DB aka Dan is as follows and of course any and all copyright to the material he wrote is his.
The Second Doctor returns with Jamie and Victoria in tow for Kathleen O. David’s On a Pedestal, a breezy tale in which Jamie encounters his hero, William Wallace, who turns out to be a bit different than Jamie had imagined. It’s a nice inconsequential piece with a fine portrayal of Jamie, and writing which evokes the Patrick Troughton era skillfully and with charm.
So there it is, my first review to go with my first published work without a co-writer.
I am grateful I had this chance to write this peice.
Hey Congratulations. Just got the book from Who North America. Looking forward to reading your story.
Congratulations! I look forward to reading this and your future works.
Congrats! I love Dr. Who, and I love Wm. Wallace, so I must hunt the book down.
This might be the first Short Trips anthology I pick up, as I’m looking forward to your and Peter’s stories.
Woo! Welcome to the club! 🙂 You’ll probably get a review in Doctor Who Magazine as well, although they don’t have much space to devote to a story-by-story review (I recall them dismissing mine as “earnest and worthy, but ultimately unengaging”)…but thankfully, Doctor Who fandom is big enough and review-happy enough that you should get quite a bit of feedback about your work.
Cool. I’ll probably pick it up.
