Booklife Editor's Pick!

I just received my first professional review!
And received a Booklife EDITOR'S PICK!! 

Booklife, a subsidiary of Publisher's Weekly, caters to indie (self-publishing) authors.
If you submit your book to Booklife, you're guaranteed to get a review and critical analysis from a professional PW reviewer in your genre. They absolutely don't hand out all glowing reviews or all A's.
They encourage authors to use the feedback to make needed adjustments before publishing.

So, I am absolutely speechless with the glowing comments! 
(And sleepless...I stayed up all night just thinking about it.)

The review will be published in Publisher's Weekly,
(a weekly trade magazine, "the Bible of the business" for publishers, booksellers and librarians,)
on May 12, and yes, I ordered extra copies.

With no hesitation I dashed off a response: You make me dinner. He agreed. He made me dinner, which was the plan all along--his roommates and neighbors and Dan all grilled steaks on a balcony hibachi. And they made side dishes. I remember peas. One of his roommates played the record Another One Bites the Dust backwards and we laughed and laughed. Later that night we went swimming and I dove into the pool, which clinched it for Dan. It was many nights of him making dinners that did it for me. Love at second sight , as the song goes. (The Gambler. by fun. Love it so much.) His...

Journaling

Image
My first journal entry was written a few days after my eight-year-old birthday. My second was a year later when I rewrote that first entry in my much more impressive nine-year-old handwriting. From the beginning, even at eight years old, writing was how I got to know myself better.  When my oldest children were teens, I thought it would be fun to share with them parts of my journal so they could see what was on my mind at their age. They were lazing in our family room when I brought out the letter-sized white binder with a worn leather cover that I'd written sporadic entries from ages eight to eighteen. I read to them my eight year old birthday entry and then a rushed but enthusiastic paragraph I'd written just after doing a a double-flip on the trampoline at age ten. (We were trampoline pros!) Then we turned page after page of entries that were either angry, angsty or a long list of childhood crushes. My children were as embarrassed for me as I was. Clearly, not everything is ...
