Reader Reviews

If you don’t already know, my first book published with Cobblestone Press has been available on Fictionwise for about 2 weeks now. Being the obsessive freak that I am, I find myself checking back repeatedly to see how the book is doing and if I have any reader reviews.

Readers seem to be responding very well to that book. Much to my surprise, I discovered my book is now in the top ten of the highest rated books for Cobblestone Press. Wow! I am truly flattered and honored that people are enjoying it so much.

I think I’ve said before that I really value the readers’ opinion much more than any review. I want to know I’m entertaining people and that they feel they’ve gotten what they paid for. A good story, a good romance, and a satisfying ending.

Let’s just hope all my books are just as well received as this one.

Inventions

Do you ever think up some great device or tool and wish you could buy it in the store? Now, I’m no inventor. Bringing an idea to market is a long, time- and money-consuming process. But as I was walking yesterday, I decided what the world needs is this:

A scale that doesn’t show your weight.

I know. Weight is kinda the point of a scale, isn’t it? But what I would like is a scale that is programmable so that it doesn’t show your weight. You just get on it, press a button to ’set’ the weight you are currently, and then you go on your merry way. Every day or every week, you could go back to the scale to weigh yourself again to find out if you lost or gained pounds. And that is all it would show you…weight lost, weight gained. You could reset it for the following week, or keep track of your progress from week to week, day to day. Without a big scary number staring you in the face.

So there you go. My idea for the week. Unless, of course, such a scale exists. If so, please tell me in the comments!

Interviews

Amie Stuart will be my author interview on Monday. I was going to schedule someone for May 26th, but then I realized that’s Memorial Day….so I think I will take that day off. My next author interview will be in June, and I’ll give more details about June’s schedule in my newsletter for next month and here on the blog.

Hope you have a great Saturday!
