This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

S.K. Epperson Thanks for the question, Sara, and sorry for taking so long to get back to you. Yes, negative reviews are painful (like a grade-schooler being laughed at on show-and-tell day painful) but they are usually meant to wound. When a reader says terrible things I try not to take it personally, have to imagine that the work affected them unkindly and if read in a different light on a different day the results perhaps would have been less offensive. Then again, every work ever written will offend someone, which says more about us than about the work. :)
