Good morning, I hope you are all in good health. I don't really have much to report, but thought I would do a quick update. The editing on my book is going well, I probably would have finished it by now if I hadn't decided to change the dialect of one of my main characters,… Continue reading Good Morning

Disappearing Amazon Reviews
Not my precious, precious reviews!
I’ve lost three reviews since last week. One day I checked my Amazon page and saw that Infinite Sacrifice went from thirty-two reviews to thirty-one reviews.

And sure enough, there was already a post up about disappearing Amazon reviews. The person who posted claimed to have lost four reviews and other authors continued the thread reporting their losses and ideas why this would happen.

A rejection
A little bit of disheartening news this time, my full manuscript was rejected based on them feeling they don't have a place for it on their current list. It was a 'good' rejection though, they took the time to make it personal and give feedback, all of which, surprisingly, was positive. They believe my work… Continue reading A rejection
