A WINNER IS ME

First book review on Amazon got five stars! ::grins::

Reviewer: donnawolan (Copenhagen, Denmark)

At first, I was a little hesitant to purchase this item as there is a freaky looking women on the cover with a giant watermelon? And yet, I do not regret my purchase.

The stories are great for someone like me-a person with a short attention span. I generally don't even like mysteries but these were actually perfect. While some of the writing is only so-so, others still are incredible. There is a even a high school student by the name of STacy Sluys who has stories in the book!

I know what you are thinking, a high school student that is already published? As odd as it may be, her stories were actually my favorite in the book.

THis short collection is perfect for a mystery lover or just someone who doesn't have enough time. THe stories will draw you in. Don't let the cheap cover influence your decisions, buy this wonderful collection today!

I kind of feel bad for the artist, Mark, who spent an amazing amount of time taking photos, chopping them up, and mashing them together for the cover. And, as far as I was concerned, the art was out of my hands — the publisher hired Mark and I sat back and watched. So while I wasn't crazy about how it looked, I appreciated the amount of time and effort he put into it.

As for Stacy, she is an amazing writer. I think she's going to go far. I chose two of her stories on merit alone, then found out she couldn't even legally sign her own author waiver forms. I'm glad she's getting some recognition.

::grins:: Funny, how proud I am of all my writers and how I stay up to date on their new projects and publications. Most of my writers are quite a few years older than me, but I still feel a bit like a mother doting on their accomplishments.

But I don't keep their artwork on the fridge. Have to draw the line somewhere.
