I've been Dear Authored...

And yep, I trembled as I clicked on the link!. But, with Alex Beecroft's splendid example of taking something positive away from a review even if someone hated your story, I gritted my teeth and clicked.

It's a review of Sindustry Vol 1, so at least I wasn't facing it alone! And yes, there are some pretty forthright opinions expressed which I know not everyone will agree with. But I was tickled pink to read this about my story, As Beauty Does: Great story, fabulous characterization... I especially love the use of the characters’ own language choices and words to indicate who they are and how they feel *beams*

And I was even more tickled pink (tickled crimson?) to read what they had to say about my own favourite story from the anthology, Lenore Black's Fun and Games, which was the reviewer's favourite too. :D

*yawn* Who me? The kids get up at 6:20 so I get up a little earlier to make sure we have lunches and everything organized. My husband leaves at 5:30 so I have him wake me as he goes. Then I can also take a few minutes to check my email and stuff.
