Please note: I give five stars to every book I read since getting a book published is a five-star accomplishment in its own right. (On rare occasions, I don't finish a book and therefore don't rate it.)

Molly McCaffrey is the author of THE CHAPERONE (a novel published under the pen name M Hendrix), YOU BELONG TO US (memoir) and HOW TO SURVIVE GRADUATE SCHOOL & OTHER DISASTERS (stories). She lives in Bowling Green, Kentucky, with her husband, New York Times bestselling novelist David Bell. For several years now, she has opted to give five stars to every book she reads since getting a book published is a five-star accomplishment in its own right.

Mary Bokkon Just read a pretty decent first novel called /Wild Girls/, in which the villain is a "Dr. David Bell," handsome folklorist, academy headmaster and seducer of young women, who gets ripped apart by a gang of maenads. I think you'd like it. :-) Wild Girls

Daniel You really do write good reviews, Molly. There are many outfits out there willing to pay for review writing but the majority will at least give you a free book. I'd think about this and maybe even start up your own web page reviewing books. If you do this then MOST publishers will send their very first printed copies to librarians and review writers FREE. You simply read it then give them their review. ALL of them want to print good reviews of their books BEFORE these books come out to the public.
