*Please tell us about your publications. I’ve published seven novels and many short stories, mostly science fiction. See the bio below for specific titles. I love the interplay of the logic science with the fun of imagination. I also love strong quirky characters. Kirkus Reviews said of my novel Quantum Murder “Imagine if Janet Evanovich had given Stephanie Plus a science-teaching degree…”
What are your views on authors commenting on reviews? Never, never, never!
How do you deal with bad reviews? I try to avoid reading any reviews. This helps eliminate the problem!
Sometimes, you can’t avoid it, as with editorial reviews. In this case you need to know so you can (usually) tell them not to publish it. Then, you just have to grit your teeth and power through it.
Sort these into order of importance:
- Great characters
2.Good plot
- Awesome world-building
4.Technically perfect
