I think most authors would agree that the most satisfying feeling is when a reader "gets" you - when they respond to your work exactly as you'd hoped they would, riding the emotional wave that you unleashed when you started the first page. Paul Goat Allen has been that reader for me, and I'm grateful from the bottom of my heart. Here's an excerpt from his post:
"...But 2012, at least for me, was all about the conclusion of Sophie Littlefield’s Aftertime saga and her iconic heroine Cass Dollar. Here are a few excerpts from my review of Horizon, which was posted back in January of this year:
• “…I’m here to tell you that Sophie Littlefield’s Aftertime trilogy (Aftertime, Rebirth, and the recently releasedHorizon) may be one of the best post-apocalyptic sagas ever written. Initially set in the Sierra Foothills of California where a genetically modified plant inadvertently released into the world has turned much of humanity into flesh-eating Beaters, the Aftertime trilogy is simply a monumental post-apocalyptic work, a trio of novels that has gone a long way in redefining the genre. Never before has such a powerfully moving post-apocalyptic series featured such a realistic, authentic – and downright unforgettable – female lead.”
The Aftertime trilogy is Littlefield’s magnum opus – just a timeless, towering work of apocalyptic fiction.”

Was Horizon really the conclusion to the series? I've hoped that another installment was forth coming.
