My Book's Newest Review

My first novel, The Diamond Caper, has been out for almost two years now. (It'll officially be two years tomorrow) Publicizing it hasn't been easy and I've welcomed a good review of the novel whenever I can get one to help 'boost awareness' of my work. Last night, I received an email saying my book had been reviewed by Reader's Favorite. The review brought tears to my eyes, in a good way. The lady who read my story said it reminded her of the Nancy Drew novels she used to read when she (the reader) was a teen. Nancy Drew's part of the inspiration for my Crystal O'Mally mystery series and I was pleased the 'Nancy Drew thread' was noticeable in my work.

It was a much better review than I expected and it amazed me that after two years, Crystal's story is still generating these kinds of reviews. I wasn't sure if after a certain amount of time your book stopped receiving really good views or not. (I'm still learning) Here's a link to Reader's Favorite where you can read the review. https://readersfavorite.com/book-review/32044 


Also, I received this seal along with the review.
