Dear Blog-Browser,
I've copied and pasted into this a review of my novel 'Abernethy'. The review is by Phillip Ellis of Australian Reader.Com, and you can check them out at http://www.australianreader.com
I'm pretty stoked with the review. 'Stoked' is an Australian colloquialism for delight and elation. Hell, I damn near had an orgasm when I read it!

When I was about sixteen, there was a song out that was very popular: 'Centrefold' by the J Geils Band. I'd hear it on the radio, and my shoulders would twitch in time with the upbeat melody and oh-so-catchy hook.

Well, 'Abernethy' was successfully launched last Friday night. It was a good night, although it went a tad too quickly for my liking. I was stressed to the nth power in the week leading up to it because my husband suffered a fall with a sub-arachnoid bleed, most likely trauma from the fall. He's doing well, now.

I'm no tech-head, so for me to get a link to an article in the local newspaper about my latest novel posted to both FB and my other blog was quite the achievement. I'm going to try and replicate this feat of cyber-accomplishment again, right here, right now...…
