reve_garrisonWell, it feels a bit more official that I'm a published author now that I actually have a couple reviews to post.
RE: Catch a Falling Star
Review by Emily83176
Review by Elisa-Rolle
One of my friends thought that this second review might upset me because it wasn't a 'glowing' recommendation. I can't disagree with the reviewers comments though, because Catch a Falling Star was meant to come across as something you would find showing on the Hallmark Channel. (For those of you who might not know what that station is, basically they show sappy mushy love stories that leave you with tears in your eyes.) It's a feel-good Christmas story, nothing more. Her remark that Cris is naive is dead on. How many fresh college graduates do you know that aren't naive? I know I was when I was in my early/mid-twenties.
So no, I have no hard feelings to the reviewers, Kasha. ;-) *hugs*

It would be very boring if everyone liked the same thing and always agreed. One of the things I love about Dreamspinner is the variety of authors and the personalities behind the stories.
Thanks again!
