It seems like Ravages is doing pretty well at Rainbow-ebooks, being in the best-seller Top Ten.

I guess this story, written without much compromises to content or style,  is slowly, slowly finding its way to the readers.

Of course it's also still available at Manifold Press.

Ravages got an absolutely lovely review on Goodreads.

"But it is also a story about love, love that is deep and that can withstand just about anything that life can throw at it or that others can try to destroy.
