Me? Seriously?

 So it's the weekend, which means no blog touring today or tomorrow. But that doesn't mean there aren't SILVER KISS-related going-ons, oh no! Thank to an email from somebody, I found this review by Sherwood Smith. Can I just say? Wow. This is my book we're talking about. How surreal is that? And not only is it a really lovely review, it's also very thoughtful and constructive, and has given me some things to thing about when I start on BAD DOGS. So I'm a bit overwhelmed at the moment. Not just by Smith's review, but all the great attention and reaction SILVER KISS has received so far. It's probably not a secret that I struggle with confidence where certain things are concerned, writing amongst them. So all this - the good reviews, people saying they can't wait to read the book, etc - has just been amazing.

Also amazing was meeting my agent yesterday. We had a good chat about Wild and how to polish it up for submission. Dare I say we're nearly there? Yeah, there will be one more rewrite - making that five rewrites since 2007... - but I'm excited instead of frustrated now. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel with this novel, whereas during the last rewrite I knew I was off track, but couldn't tell why. 

So it's all good and all go, and I'm a happy, but tired* bunny. ^_^ 

*Tired because I went out drinking last night. But I want it to be known by all who may be concerned that I was tucked up in bed before midnight, and I'm pretty sure I hardly drank any actual vodka at all.

I read Sherwood's review. It was marvelous and made me want to read your book.

Alas, I cannot. I can't afford a e-book reader. But, at the point some day that I can, I'll definitely want to read it based on her review.

There will be a print version too - Queered Fiction do print and ebook versions of all their works :)
