Reviews Reviews are like gold dust for authors. They mean that not only has someone acquired one of my books, but taken the trouble to read it, think about it, and write down their considered opinion about it. I am grateful to the good reviews, for they give satisfaction and pleasure. I don't mind critical reviews either, especially when I can learn from them, and improve the craft of my writing and the art of authorship. Keep the reviews coming, thank you.
