This is always the MOST exciting part of a release for me — finding out what readers thought of a book. Here’s an excerpt from a review I read today:
“That’s when it hit me: not only did Corine’s thoughts and fears remind me of real life conversations, everything from those issues to the description of her looks, down to what she wore…
Aguirre managed to create a character who really could be one of us. Her power isn’t so bizarrely out there. I attended an intuition workshop that included psychometry. Each participant handled objects much like Corine goes—granted, with far less success and none of the price our heroine has to pay. She’s kick ass without being able to kick everybody’s ass; in a combat situation, she’s better armed with a cell phone ready to call 911 than with a gun, but she’s no damsel in distress waiting for the big strong men to come rescue her.”
–From A Writer’s Block
I’m tickled by this because I can’t think of a higher compliment than saying my heroine feels like a real person. Let the happy-dance commence now.
ETA: More coolness. I have cover art for the anthology I’m in. 
Hey, I thought you didn’t like vampires. Does this mean you’ve written a vampire story?
Congrats on the great review, Ann!
Love the cover art to that anthology, too! The background is very different… I like it.
