Reviews

When a review is published in a newspaper, an author can take comfort in the fact that, if it's bad, the number of readers will generally be limited. If it's good, on the other hand, the possibility exists for the author to distribute it far and wide, to exploit it to the best of his/her ability. But when it's an internet review? When there's no way to tell how many people from how many places in the cyber world will read it? That's a daunting thought. And I found that this morning, because I knew a review of my book, The River, By Moonlight, was going to be posted that I hesitated coming to the computer. How would I handle it if it was terrible? I wondered. Would I write about it here? Ignore it? Happily, it's not an issue. The review is great. I couldn't have dreamed of better. I'm enormously pleased. And grateful. And, when you get a minute, I hope you'll go read it :
