Getting any kind of feedback on my books is always surreal. Those characters, the world they inhabit, all of it comes out of my head, and feels like that's the only place it really exists. Having scenes or characters that I made up come back at me from other people is still really weird.
But for one of my books to make a reviewers top ten list for the year is the best, and most surreal thing that has happened to me yet!
Remember, November made Michelle Blakey's list of ten best books for 2019 over on
The Lesbian Review, and I am still stunned. Not only are my stories real to others, but they really like them! It's right there alongside
real books written by
real authors! It's enormously validating, and I am still over the moon at seeing it there. Thank you so much!
Please also check out the work by the other others on the list, who worked just as hard as I did (probably harder). I don't see us as competitors, but colleagues, and their work deserves every bit of the recognition and support mine does.
Off to make more!
