Writer's Digest Review
"Blurred Line contains a unique plot and even more enticing characters. It kept me guessing what was going to happen next, who was going to do it and why. I also enjoyed the short 'whispers' sections, which provided entertaining breaks in the story line."
Or so the good people at Writer's Digest say. About six months ago I entered my book in the (long breath) Writer's Digest 12th Annual International Self-Published Book Awards. The nice thing about this contest is that, even if you don't win (which I didn't), you still get a comment sheet from the judge with what was good (see above), what was bad (confusing first chapter), how the author can market (I'm already doing a good job - they like my web site), and numerical ratings in a couple of categories (4 out of 5 in plot and character development).
I'm happy with what the judge had to say, although nothing in that paragraph really makes for a snappy quote, but, hey, I'll take what I can get.

Hi There! This is superb news! :) (I found your site via Blog Explosion and blogmarked it.)
I receive those emails from Writer's Digest, but haven't submittted yet. I plan to in the future, when I have more time to balance interests between art and writing.
This is a lovely commentary and inspiration for you. As a new reader, I feel your well-deserved pride. :) Take care. Hope you'll stop by my site sometime. Http://GreenEyedLady.Blogspot.com
