REVIEW AND BASK IN THE SUN'S WARMTH!

Review copies continue to arrive for Galatea Resurrects!  May I repeat my offer for a free copy of my forthcoming book, SUN STIGMATA, if you review for the next issue (deadline is Nov. 10).

Speaking of books, here's the rest of my latest Relished W(h)ines update of recently imbibed books and wines.  As ever, please note that in the Publications section, if you see an asterisk before the title, that means a review copy is available for GalateaResurrects!  More info on that HERE.
