Musing...

Today I woke as usual to the bright sunshine outside my window. I'm depressed that Christmas is over and the new year has begun. I am very melancholy in January. I have been since I was a young child. The let down from all the rush and bustle of November and December.

The house is quiet this afternoon. My daughter is playing at a friends, my husband in napping in the other room. (I can hear his subtle snores from my office)

I opened my email and today I sit here stunned. A book that I published in December received a review today. Again, I now know this book is flawed, many mistakes, poor word choices, and it should have been longer. More conflict. So much more.

So I read the review. Almost holding my breath as I did so. I have not gone and searched these reviews out, it was emailed to me. I was almost afraid to read it, to see disappointment from a reader.

You can imagine my shock when the reviewer loved it. (A Romance Review) gave it five roses for the writing and the story. I'm still sitting here stunned. Truly and wondering what the reviewer must have been smoking. *grin* It seems the readers like it for some reason. Another sent me a personal email, which I won't go into details with here, but she liked it as well. So the letter made me smile. Thank God they over looked the errors...The gaps that I now know are there. But it was still a nice letter to receive on such a gloomy January Sunday afternoon...

Who can guess what the buying public will love and enjoy? Not me...that is for sure. I was convinced that the book would die a slow horrendous death.

Interesting...no?
Hugs,
