Bloggers – Cynthia Reyes

Of course I’m anxious. Wouldn’t you be?

The book I ran away from, repeatedly, is finally published. And now I wait.

Except, several bloggers have done a lot to make the waiting easier. Some sent me wonderful email reviews as they read An Honest House: “I’ve reached (this) part now and I’m loving it!” Or: “I stayed awake till 2 in the morning, reading!” And so on.

That’s a new experience for me, and I appreciate it.

Then, Sally Cronin, a European blogger who has done much to help authors and other bloggers around the world, kindly highlighted An Honest House.

And, from Gibraltar, Katherine, the sharp-eyed editor and tough book reviewer who previewed the book before it went to print, published her review last weekend. Finally, I found out what she thought of the finished product. (I was anxious.)

Am I thankful?

You bet.

Dear Friends:

I promise I won’t inundate you with book stuff! But I really want to share some good news from the first days after my book was released online:

Diane Taylor, author of The Gift of Memoir, (an excellent go-to book on memoir-writing) was the first to review my book. A very nice review, though it also made me cry.
I got to hold the first copy of An Honest House in my own hands on Wednesday.
And author and book blogger Kev Cooper, of Kev’s Raves and Reviews, gave the book a big shout-out this week.
