Something Missing was reviewed by the Free Lance Star in Fredericksburg, VA, today, and in glowing terms, and more than 75% of the readers in Amazon’s Vine program have given the book four or five stars.
Booklist, Kirkus, and Publisher’s Weekly also came out with very positive reviews.
This process has been a dream come true, and we still have 24 hours before Something Missing hits the stores.
My friend, Jeff Martin (ironic, huh?), may have been the first to purchase a copy of the book in an actual bookstore. This afternoon, he entered Border’s Books in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and saw an employee setting up a display of Something Missing for tomorrow. He asked if he could buy the book today, and after some prodding, the employee relented and sold him a copy.
It’s been quite a week. My publicist has been scheduling bookstore signings (I’ll be posting the dates very soon), booksellers have been contacting me daily about many things, and the Hartford Courant has interviewed me for a story that will appear later this week.
How exciting! And tomorrow should be even better!
