Our Author Gang's Favorite Reviews
Book reviews (good or bad) provide important feedback to the authors and without reviews, a book gets lost in the thousands of other books that are released every month.
Every author appreciates and values the opinion of readers but we’re strongly discouraged from engaging with readers and thank them for their reviews on publishing sites.
The authors of Our Author Gang celebrate and appreciate the readers by posting our favorite reviews between September 10 and 22. Every day a different author of the group posts about their books and quote from their readers’ favorite reviews.
Thank you for your interest in our books and happy reading!
My favorite reviews
"It is, at its core, a romance novel. But it is also a thriller with dark undercurrents of mysterious and dangerous forces at work. As a first book in a series, it sets the stage for an epic saga about complex characters, relationships, and secret traditions. I enjoyed this one greatly and am anxious to read more about Ilona, her gifts, and her family." ~Ed Drury
My most favorite review really touched my heart. I gave an advanced copy of this children's storybook to an editor for editorial review and this is what he wrote:
"I received a copy of this book before publishing, and I can honestly say that this is by far the best children's story I ever read to my seven-year-old son. He hung onto every word and displayed a wide range of emotions throughout the story such as sadness, fear, excitement, and sheer joy. What I value most is when we finished the book he said to me, "Dad, I wish I had a dog like Peanut." At first, I thought that he's just like any other little boy is wishing for a dog, but then seeing his unusually sad expression, I asked him why he wants a dog like the one in the story. He said, "Because a dog like Peanut could save me from Connor." My heart jumped into my throat because I never noticed any sign that my son was bullied. When I asked him why he didn't tell us before, he said because he thought I would be mad at him for not being able to defend himself. This story encouraged him to tell me and we are working on solving his problem together."

I love this review because it's short, to the point.
“Cursed Bloodline” is a fine novel full of suspense and mystery, marked by the author’s sure-handed skill with the art and craft. The cast richly and realistically come to life from the very first page and the crisp prose drew this reader ever forward, turning pages. Ms. Skabo has a great feel for the pulse of artful realism. Emily’s story cannot be missed."~Greg Jolley
"I love that this book conveys so many positive messages for children and their families. The illustrations are beautiful and it is printed in English and Spanish on alternate pages giving the reader the option to read in either language. As a bilingual teacher, I am excited about sharing this book with my students and think it would make a wonderful addition to all school libraries. 5 stars for Pico the Bilingual Parrot!" ~Janet Balletta
