High stakes, fast pace and tears

As a writer, the most amazing, rewarding thing is when you hear from someone who enjoyed your story. It doesn't matter if you're published and it's a review or an email from a reader or you're unpublished and it's a comment from your critique partner or even your mom!


I had two reviews of MIND RAIDER last week that really touched me. One because the reader really understood and enjoyed my writing style. The other because the reader got the part of the story that was a bit of a risk. Thank you, ladies!

Here are a few snippets from those reviews:

From Nina:

Without a doubt, Anna has successfully weaved an intense and action-pack story filled with great characters, a good plot and an exciting storyline. As I was reading, this story played out like a movie in my head due to the flawless storytelling and vivid imagery.

It was fast-paced which I always appreciate in a story because it doesn't leave me bored or have me skimming pages.


My emotions were running rampant in this story. I was smiling one minute and then teary-eyed the next. This read definitely packed in a lot.

From Jenny:

I know, a review isn't where you confess you want to kidnap a hero and keep him forever. But Callahan, oh my. I understand Mara's fascination.

More seriously, this is romantic suspense with high stakes and hot sexiness, but it's also something more. There is no shying away from the price of power, its lure and the fact that we're flawed humans.
