On being reviewed favorably
Twice this weekend I received notice from friends who’d seen reviews of BAA I didn’t even know were out (or even happening in one case). Both reviews (Chicago Magazine and The Denver Post) were favorable and thus did nothing for my humility. Then a thought struck me: what if there are other, negative, reviews out there–and no one’s telling me?
Is that the case? Are you reading this, thinking better about sending me a note that the Picayune Dealer-Sentinel-Tribune-Herald panned me? If so, please don’t hold back. My condo is small enough without my ego further invading Amy’s space…

The Elmhurst Press has yet to write a review. They are too busy covering girl’s highschool volleyball and a children’s group singing at the local nursing home to read your book. I’ll write in to the editor and complain about their lack of attention to goings-on in the literary world. Then I will flip to page 6 and cut out a coupon for a free tune-up at the Elmhurst Jiffy-Lube.
