SPEAKING STONES reissued

[sleigh]

My novel SPEAKING STONES, the 'companion' novel to DARK WATER'S EMBRACE, has been reissued in trade paperback and electronic format by Phoenix Pick (a division of Arc Manor Press).  I'm very pleased to have both DWE and SPEAKING STONES available once again, as they're two of my favorite books.  Thematically, while DWE explored sexual prejudice and gender issues; SPEAKING STONES focused on racial prejudice.

Here are a couple of the reviews the book received when it came out:

"Leigh's characters bring Mictlan's conflicts alive. Stubborn, loving, angry, conflicted, and most of all frightened, these players reveal a world where both species could lose by winning but where accommodation appears impossible. The resolution of this conflict, featuring both tragedy and hope, is rewarding indeed." - John R. Alden, reviewing in the Plain Dealer, Cleveland OH

 

"The richest and most complex novel Leigh has yet written, and one that you will remember long after you have finished reading it." - Don D'Ammassa in SF Chronicle

 

"Leigh's Mictlan is a fascinating world and the various human and Miccail cultures are both well-developed and highly believable. His characters, regardless of their species or their sexual apparatus are intensely human, given to making errors and capable of both love and hatred. Even his villains are well rounded... SPEAKING STONES stands on its own as one of the better planetary adventure novels published..." - Michael Levy in SFRA Review

You can pick up SPEAKING STONES, if you're so inclined, at amazon or B&N.
