Bookworm Babblings review

... And that's it! For Ever's blog tour for August is done with one last review from Bookworm Babblings.

 

As Never continues to go through the editing process, I'm really looking forward to getting into the third book in The Ever Series, but my day job may get in the way for the time being. Crossing my fingers that I can get started soon.

Also -- I'm aiming to get some teasers of Never up by tonight, so I'll be back. If you have any burning questions or comments, let me know!

Doctor's Notes review: 4/5 notepads

A review from Shieka at Doctor's Notes. Gotta say, I really liked this review. It focuses a lot on the positive, which I always find refreshing!



Thanks to Shieka for new thoughts about For Ever! (Plus, just look at the artwork on her button -- it's so pretty! Love it!)

The few last reviews of For Ever

This week will mark the end of the August blog tour with SupaGurl. It's definitely been a wild ride.

Today's review is by Shellie at Creative Reads. Then, another review tomorrow and the last is on Friday.

As for me, I am nearly halfway done with the first round of edits to Never. Then it goes off again for more edits. If things keep moving along, I may get this sequel out early, but no promises.

The first review of Never is in

And my test reader says:

"It's awesome. I really liked it."

(Yay!)

For the record, said reader's rating scale goes like this:

It's not my thing.
It's fine.
It's good.
It's great.
It's awesome.

The August tour with SupaGurl is almost done!

While I was away ...

You know that feeling when you leave on a short trip and come back ... and it feels like you've been gone forever? (No pun intended!) I totally just had that! Went to a wedding in Las Vegas for a family member, and let me tell you ... Las Vegas, Nev. and Portland, Ore. could not be more different. It was sweltering, perfectly clear and in the 100s in Vegas; it was raining and in the 60s or 70s when I got back to Portland. Two totally different planets.

While I was gone, the August blog tour with SupaGurl marched on with reviews and guest posts (including my tentative casting of For Ever as a movie). The reviews were (mostly) good, though I've found over and over that you can't please everyone -- and if you try, it won't work out!

To those of you who "liked" For Ever on Facebook -- you guys are awesome and I hope you're looking forward to Never. By the way, my test reader is about five pages from finishing and says the sequel is (even) better than the first.

Here's a recap of the goings on while I was in Vegas:
