a bit squeeful that I was mentioned, if only by first name, in the thank-you's/acknowledgements section of an upcoming book. A first!
Ceejay Writer
the book is 473 pages long, I just saw a second version proof. You'd be passed out comatose before noticing me, so I had to mention.

Qwis
: She wasn't just remembered: she was helpful! (That's the point of the acknowledgements, right?)
CaribouKen
Her acknowledgement in the book is small and easy to overlook, but the author's gratitude for her taking the time to read that big book, for getting his concepts and writing a thoughtful review are huge.
CaribouKen
He's been very personable in email and has become yet another inspiration for her own writing.

: I'm sure that's what Qwis meant.

I'd written a favorable review of his previous novel - which prompted him to send me the rough manuscript of this novel, which I loved, and gave a good review again.
Ceejay Writer
So that's the helpful stuff I did! Being mentioned was unexpected, and nice.

And I'm looking forward to reading that novel myself... one of the perks of being a beta reader and sometimes editor for

To re-mention the novel, here's that link to my review of Who is Killing the Great Capes of Heropa?

BTW, Ken edited that review, and wonderfully so.

It was fun to do.
