I'm Chris. Let's be heroes together.


Historical Fiction Company - Review

So let's be honest, when you put a book or a creative work out into the world, you're opening yourself up to criticism, and that's just how it goes. Obviously you hope the feedback is good, but maybe it won't be, maybe some number of readers / viewers will hate your work, and will let you know how they feel.

So, when I click on a new book review, there is always some trepidation and nervousness. I guess I steel myself in advance to begin reading a negative review.
When, after a few words (maybe you see the 4 out of 5 or possibly 5 out of 5 rating at the top), you realize it will be a positive review, you breathe a sigh of relief right away, and then you continue to read the review and see what the person said about your book.

And sometimes... you are blown away.

This review from the Historical Fiction Company blew me away.

Thank you so so so much folks, that was insanely flattering. Thank you.
Five stars, and your Highly Recommended award as well.
Sincerely, thank you so much.

I had sent Close Your Eyes to them as an entry into their historical fiction contest. They don't announce winners until December, so I won't know how I did in their contest for a while, but wow, what a wonderful review  :)

Otherwise, it's autumn in Ontario. I haven't been able to get out cycling in the early mornings, and capturing amazing sunrises, recently, but here are a couple photos from walks with one of my daughters on the local trails.

Happy Friday world  :)

    I'm Chris Tomasini.
    I'm currently working on a young adult trilogy, titled Within This Darkness.

    Why "be heroes together"? Because - as someone once told me - writing is hard. Writing well is almost impossible. And writing in a way that truly moves people is something that most of us will never achieve. But - to that we aspire. And to do that, we have to be heroes.
