One way to look at today’s post is to see it as a flagrant act of self-indulgence. The other way to look at it is to see a geeky first time author so excited that a professional reviewer said so many nice things about her book, she just couldn’t help herself. It’s one thing to have someone write a positive review, it’s quite another when you can tell how much they really loved your book. I’ve decided that if there are any others, I may not be able to bring myself to read them. It’s spoiled me for good.
If you are so inclined, all you have to do is look under “What People Are Saying” and click on “read the whole article” in the first quote by Monsieur Mark Vaughan-Jackson in this link (the book page here on le blog). Click and drag your cursor anywhere on the page to move the article up and down and see what you think of it.
I couldn’t be happier with it if I wrote it myself. Poor Neil. Since this came out I’ve been more insufferable than ever. I keep walking around the housette with a print-out, quoting hourly from it. I think he’s hoping this will be my first and last print review. Fine by me.
Next one will be Finding me in Fondue. Great revue!
Now there’s a title, brilliant!
Or maybe it should be ‘Finding me in Fendant’, considering where you’re thinking of going.
Oui, ja, si, who knows where we’ll end up. Given my energy level at the moment staying put is also a very fine option.
Neil should be insufferable about that review, too, if that was constitutionally possible for him — he received a rave, too!
I know, really nice hey?
Bobbi, the review was just as I thought it would be so let the journey continue…….the audience needs more!
Audience wanting more please note: All further books will be on a cash up front basis. Will also work for food.
That was wonderful. I am honored to know you, I do need to meet Neil.
I’ll send him out by mail next week. Don’t forget to slather him with sunscreen.
I have a little tear in my eye over that review. You deserve to be insufferable, though I agree that Neil should feel pretty damned pleased with himself as well. It takes two to make a love story.
{sniff}
Oh that Neil is always pleased with himself, totally annoying. Seriously, it’s so nice to see the Neil love in the review isn’t it?
Mark said what we are all thinking. I liked it so much I poured another cup of coffee and read his review again. It must be very gratifying to have a peer, another writer that is, not another doctor, think so highly of your work.
It is, as you say, gratifying. Plus it’s friggin’ awesome!
Wonderful review, wonderful book!
Wonderful Duchess.
I agree Bobbi….don’t read another review….he says it all so eloquently…It is wonderful how he describes the blook as a love story…it is on so many levels
I know. Best to stop here I say. The bad ones are coming but that’s what’s so great about denial.
From what I have read, you are not going to get any bad reviews. As you say: ‘frigging awesome’ Can’t wait to get my hands on a copy.
I’m sure I will but for today there is only this.
Great review – you (and Neil!) deserve this! Congratulations!
