Reviews really are important


Would it come as a surprise to learn that I rarely read my reviews? Actually, I do read the ones that are brought to my attention...but the truth is, this writer gets waaaaay too emotional about such things.

When I published my first story (under a pen name) and a reader trashed the technical aspects of the writing (not the story itself) I was so mortified that it took a year and a half for me to dip my toe in the publishing waters again!

Coming back STRONG after something that almost defeated me, the pen name got kicked to the curb, I "grew a set" ::giggle snort:: and took a leap of faith.

Why? Because I felt the stories I had to share were worth telling and a few misplaced commas and some sloppy head-hopping in the narrative didn't change that.

I'm lucky enough to have a kick-ass assistant who also happens to be a 23 years long BFF who stays on top of reviews and stuff like that.

Today--she posted this marvelous reader comment about Family Justice Book 1 ~ ALWAYS.

All joking aside, I teared up.

Those Justice boys are close to my heart. After spending so much time developing a cadre of strong, unique characters...that a reader found something positive to say and share about them ~ well, it touched me deeply.

So....sharing is necessary! Please click the link :-)

  1. Family Justice Yes please! Your stories are incredible. The picture you paint for the scenery are the most vivid I've evperienced in a book ever. I can't wait to read more.

  2. Love all of the characters and the atorylines--anxious to see what happens next. Hoping the escalating BDSM between Alex and Meaghan tones down a little because I guess I'm just a little too feminist for some of those shenanigans--it's not sexy to me. But I love how these men and women love each other and have forged a family out of hardship and trauma. Makes me want to know what happens next.
