Lit Witch Review breathes new life into Asylum Lake

I've been following The Lit Witch book blog for awhile now.  They do a really great job of reviewing books from a variety of genres and I have found them to be pretty spot on with their comments. They don't just rate a book – they go much deeper. Their reviews cover everythng from the plot and characters to the setting and premise. All of those factors are rolled into a final rating. It's a pretty cool system and provides their followers an opportunity to learn a lot about the book and what the author's strengths and weaknesses are.

After months of waiting, their review of Asylum Lake went live today and I couldn't be more pleased. Not just because it's a 4.5 star review – although that is rock star quality! I'm pleased because the reviewer seemed genuine in her comments; she understood the subtle and not-so-subtle nuances I was trying to portray with my characters, the dialogue, and their struggle to come to grips with a small town's dark past.

Most refreshing, however, has been the out-pouring of support from readers and fans following the release of the review. I've received more than two dozen emails from readers who just wanted to share their appreciation for my dark tale and excitement for the upcoming sequel Grave Undertakings. Several even commented on how they are buying copies for friends or suggesting it to book clubs as a good Halloween read. That, my friends, is the life-blood of author success – positive word of mouth!

Thanks to The Lit Witch for taking the time to review Asylum Lake.  I encourage authors and readers alike to visit her blog and dive into some of the great titles she is reading…and reviewing!
