Reviews can be humbling
My new World War II novella Colette has been out for less than a month and it's garnering great reviews on many platforms beside Goodreads.
Reading reviews is can be an emotional ride for an author. Putting your writing out there is dangerous: you are asking people to read your work and they are free to comment on it as they see fit. While five star reviews are great, the reviews I treasure most are the thoughtful ones that provide insight into why a reader liked the book ... and what they found problematic. These reviews drive my writing forward.
Thank you to all my readers - and most particularly to those that leave a review.
