Ruth – wow! Although I am not surprised at all. I must get your book soon, it really does sound wonderful. Congratulations on the accolades, especially one from this august journal!
Thank you, Fran. I’m very pleased. We’ve been waiting a while for this one to come through.
Awesome news! That’s truly fantastic 🙂
Thanks!
That’s amazing!
Yes. 🙂
How thrilling, Ruth. Good for you!
Thank you.
That’s amazing! I’m one of the people at my library who looks at the catalogs that come in (Kirkus, Publisher’s Weekly), and Kirkus is SO tough on people it’s just harrowing at times.
That’s what I’ve heard. My review was an indie review, so it might not make it into the journal. I’m still hoping.
If I remember aright (I was just looking at one today, you’d think this would be more clear in my brain) they do have an indie section, though perhaps not in every issue.
They said that not all indie reviews made it into the print issue. As I said, I’m hoping but not holding my breath. It sure would help though! I don’t think many people dig around their website. But either way, I can quote it in flyers and my publisher put it up on Amazon.
