May 20, 2015

Hard to believe, hard to accept -- it's the 20th of May. This special month is no longer a teenager and that's big psychologically (at least for me) To me, it means I'm not going as fast as I should be on the next FBI and that gives me a zing -- What kind of zing? Hmm, well, it isn't a fun zing.

I've got to tell you -- most of the posts you send about bad weather are from Minnesota -- what's going on up there? Are you being punished for some reason I don't know about?

A reader told me Nemesis was on the Amazon Summer Blockbuster list -- now I've got to go see what this is all about. Did any of you see this? Did any of you care if you did indeed see it?
I'm read only one review for Nemesis so far from Kirkus. They usually savage books -- it's their trademark -- I mean, lots of cutting comments, left-handed compliments out the kazoo, and naturally, they're not signed by the reviewer. Well, they liked Nemesis, I guess, but hard to tell since 95% of the review was a simply synopsis of the book -- I'll keep you posted as more come in. My editor knows NEVER to send a bad review. I mean, why would you? To make the author's day? To make her feel over the moon and ready to dance and shout?
