Part of my recent conversion to the joys of blogging has come from the warm reaction my book, American Shaolin (you knew I had a book, right?), has received. Below are links to two of them.

Jeff Gabbard has done one of the most thorough reviews of American Shaolin on the web or in print, which you can read here. While this is no doubt due to his interest in martial arts literature, it is still rare in the MA community to find someone who can write as well as he can.

Riffing off Jeff's review is forsythferret, who says memorably of American Shaolin that it is "made up of several parts awesome." If only I could get The New York Times to say the same.
