The Good, Bad and the Ugly: Reviews

I must admit that most of the reviews on my books have been good, but occasionally, a negative one will pop up and, to be honest, my heart drops to my knees every time. I understand that not everyone will love everything I write. I don't expect that, at all, but I do want honest reviews. I don't want to get dinged because someone doesn't like me personally or, as happened recently, a reader isn't able to download one of my books!

I could get on my soapbox and rant and rave about how unfair it is to provide a "review" that truly isn't any reflection whatsoever on the book itself, but I'm not going to. As I say all the time, it is what it is.

Suffice it to say, I'm trying to teach myself not to have that visceral (heart to my knees) reaction and to understand that sometimes a review is not a review at all.

Peace.
