Don’t have a date yet, but

I’ve signed a contract with Cobblestone Press for My Everything, a romance/suspense previously published with Cerridwen. This is exciting news. The Good, the Bad and the Unread gave me a lovely review months ago - which of course thrilled the hell out of me. Sandy M. graded the book a B+ and said:

” I gave Ms. Barrett a little bit of a hard time on my review of her first book, Anytime Darlin’. There were things about that book that I liked but more things that I didn’t. But Ms. Barrett was very gracious, took her average grade from me, finished up her next book, and came back to us for another review. I’m glad she did.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed this sophomore book by Ms. Barrett. The storyline is intriguing and the hero and heroine have great chemistry. Now, that isn’t to say there aren’t a couple of little problems, but for the most part, I see growth in this author’s writing and I will continue to read her books.”

No, it doesn’t bother me to admit that Sandy gave me an average review for my first romance, Anytime Darlin’. An average review from a tough reviewer is all right with me - I happen to love Anytime Darlin’, but Sandy took issue with a few aspects of the story and that’s okay. I think if we are willing to keep an open mind, we can learn a great deal from our critics…unless, of course, they criticize without reason and/or resort to name calling. Besides, despite Sandy’s issues with my first book, there were portions she liked a lot and she thought enough of my ability as a writer to read my second. She could have blown me off entirely.

I’ve been writing for a long time and although I don’t have a thick skin, over the years I’ve gained enough confidence to keep on keepin’ on. That’s what we do.
