\"ToInheritAMurderer_AmazonCrunch\"<\/a>I blinked. Double blinked. Sipped coffee. Blinked again. \u00a0Decided to check…. \u00a0Really?! \u00a0REALLY?!<\/p>\n

“Yep,” said Amazon.com.<\/p>\n

Blinked.<\/p>\n

My sleeper…well, one of my sleepers, but I don’t much count the SF…actually garnered interest …\u00a0and<\/em> a five-star, one-liner review<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0that says a LOT, coming from a pleased reader. YESTERDAY.<\/p>\n

I’m still blinking. \u00a0And I haven’t even released this lengthy ‘thing’ I’m doing on the novel–a thing that takes a lot of work and a lot of painstaking attention to ‘where was my intent’.<\/p>\n

To Inherit a Murderer<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, (Book 1: The Ward) actually garnered a five-star review. And it’s been selling copies. \u00a0Wow! \u00a0Totally WOW.<\/p>\n

Makes me happy. \u00a0Because the book’s been sleeping for a good long time with only the most occasional of reader. The last review before yesterday’s was in the summer of 2015.<\/p>\n

Now, I don’t get a lot of reviews from my readers. Not for OHL (Old HIckory Lane) and not for my C. J. “Country” James novels. They sell well, but their readers don’t review. To have To Inherit a Murderer<\/em><\/strong><\/a> garner a review, though, well, that’s like a MAJOR DEAL. \u00a0To me.<\/p>\n

Wow. \u00a0Made my day yesterday. Unfortunately, I was so busy patching databases due to a plugin update fault that I couldn’t spend the time to gloat. \u00a0So I’m gloating today.<\/p>\n

HAPPY!!!!<\/span><\/h1>\n
