Come on, aren't you intrigued yet?

Some nice words from both in the states and abroad. I love Australia.

1) So Cold the River has been named a "great read" by Australia's Men's Fitness magazine. They passed on the opportunity to interview me for the "six-pack secrets" feature, which is disappointing, because I have some great tips on how to handle those tough six-pack moments in which your bottle opener is missing, but I'll forgive them because of the following quote: "He's 27 years old and has already been mentioned in the same breath as Stephen King. Koryta's earned it -- this paranormal thriller is a cracker of a read." I'm hoping that last bit is praise and not a dig at my southern Indiana roots.

2) Australia's Booktopia Blog provides a nice interview. http://blog.booktopia.com.au/2010/05/12/michael-koryta-author-of-the-up-coming-so-cold-the-river-speaks-to%C2%A0booktopia/

3) The Chicago Sun-Times identifies So Cold the River as one of its five summer thrillers that just might be worth your time...

4) The St. Petersburg Times and Cape Cod Times also select So Cold as a "must-read" of the summer.
