Okay, let me explain. Back in November I got the opportunity to beta read a novel written by Brian Braden. Brian also writes for Underground Book Reviews, a website dedicated to reviewing and promoting indie authors. I subscribed to the newsletter and became Facebook friends with Brian and followed him on Twitter (the thought occurs to me that in real life all this friending and following is rather stalkerish!). Sometime around the first of the year he tweeted a general inquiry, looking for anyone interested in writing a book review. Of course, I answered.
And so here we are, my first ever, published on an actual website and not just on Amazon or Goodreads, book review! Please go check it out and leave a comment or share it on your social network of choice! I am hoping if they get enough hits they might ask me to write more. Hey, a girl can dream!!
Huh....a girl CAN dream. Even this girl, who gets choked up at the very mention of it. Who knew?!?!
(If you are confused, go read here, here, & here to learn about my fear of dreaming)
Oh, and before I go, Happy April Fools day! No, the above post is NOT an April Fools Joke. I promise. As a rule I am not a huge fan of April Fools day because it seems to be a good excuse for any number of cruel practical jokes. I love a good joke, the key word being GOOD. As in not cruel or harmful to others. This day is also the wedding anniversary of my mom and step dad. Seriously. They married on April Fools Day. It was my mom's third marriage and his ninth (not kidding) so I suppose they picked the right day. After all, at the time of his death they had been married for 26 years.

You know what, I'm rambling! So, I'm going to wrap this up now. Please go check out my review, I would love some honest feedback!
Have a great day, and look out for those April Fools!
Congratulations! A real, published, honest-to-God book reviewer! You've just added another story to my already yards-long "to-read" list :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Thanks Justin. I'm having fun! Let me know if you enjoy the book ,if you ever get that far down your list!
DeleteWay to go! You do realize that you ARE a published author already, though, by means of THIS very blog :) However, the book review catapults you into a new level of published! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteOh, I know! I'm just so excited that I managed to write something that someone else is willing to publish on their own website! Who knows, this might become a regular thing! ;)
DeleteSo happy for you!! How exciting! I read the review and you did a fab job! I left a comment there as well, and hope they send more reviews your way. (Loved the wedding pic of your mom and step father. Her pantsuit was so fun!)
ReplyDeleteThanks! They actually did send some more "work" my way in the form of short articles (500 words). Hopefully they will like me and keep me around. I find that I really enjoy the challenge of writing those kinds of articles and reviews. :)
