I promised to tell you when Myrtle is published. It is!
New on amazon.com and amazon.co.uk, the print version of Myrtle the Purple Turtle is now available! The reviews have started and I’m enormously grateful for the strong positive reactions.
Twice now, reading a review of Myrtle, I’ve been moved to tears. Please read Andrea Stephenson’s powerful review below:
Cynthia Reyes 
Congratulations Cynthia your lovely story has indeed been powerfully reviewed – I was so moved by Andrea’s post! xo
Thanks Cynthia, Myrtle and the story behind her was very inspirational to write about.
I saw Andrea’s heartfelt post yesterday. Kudos on the nice reviews and start to your book launch!

Myrtle has touched us all! Sending love and hugs!
Andrea’s is, indeed, a lovely review … and much more. Glad to hear Myrtle is being well received!
so exciting! I’m delighted for you:-)
I am so pleased the reviews have been good – and so they ought to be! I was so moved by Andrea’s post and review of your book.
Me too. Her post was extraordinary.
Congratulations! Andrea wrote a fantastic review which led me to order your book last night. Looking forward to reading and sharing it with others. Namaste
Bonnie: And I just read your comment to that review. Thanks so VERY much, twice!
Congratulations on the wonderful reviews, Cynthia. I think many of us can relate to Myrtle’s story.
Thank you very much. I agree with you and Andrea: at some point or other in our lives, we can all relate to Myrtle.
Many congratulations on publication, and what a wonderful review.
Thanks, Lorna. It really is such a powerful review.
Interesting timing because I just listened to a news report about a 12 year old shooting his bully. I think your book can help this terrible situation we have found ourselves in when you not only have to deal with the bully but also social media. Wonderful post, and I especially liked the closing about the blogging community. I hope it is a huge success. 🙂
Thanks very much, Judy. What a sad news report. I hope that Myrtle can get to children early. It launched in Canada as Amazon’s #1 Hot New Release in children’s books, and also #1 in its category. I’m hoping to see some American reviews, as that can help the book become known. Thanks again!
We got our copy of Myrtle today and my kids (especially my daughter) loved it. My daughter is reading it for a third time before she goes to bed…. 🙂
Oh, wow, Victo! what a wonderful message! Please thank your daughter for reading it a third time! I love hearing that.
She insisted that the book is hers and will now reside in her bedroom henceforth. Thank you for writing it. 🙂
Oh, thank you for buying it. And tell your daughter please that I said “many thanks!”
I would be grateful if your daughter and you would consider reviewing Myrtle on amazon or elsewhere, Victo! Thanks in advance.
