I haven't posted anywhere for quite a while, due to family stuff a.k.a. Real Life, but I wanted to pop in with something that pleased me. My reviews for Counterpoint: Dylan's Story have been fabulous so far, but they were all people and reviewers in the gay romance genre field. You can't help wondering how well a mainstream reviewer w...ould view the book when you are reviewed only by your own genre, whether it's SF, fantasy, erotica or what have you.

In the last couple of weeks, I've had the pleasure of have two mainstream reviews:
one will be published in the Historical Novel Review. The magazine won't be out for a while due to delays, but I saw the tearsheet, and it's a short but very, very good review, though it unfortunately has a major spoiler.

The other is online at Feathered Quill http://www.featheredquill.com/histori... -- where it's listed in two categories: Historical, and Romance
It, too, is a terrific review and fairly long.

I love my genre readers and reviewers to pieces, but it's a warm and fuzzy feeling to get mainstream reviews, too. The first ones I've had for a novel.
