Australian Bookshelf has just sent me a copy of the review of my Great Potato Famine novel. It can be read at

Reviews are so important to a writer. They can be a confidence booster or a prod to work harder to impress an audience. It is easy as a writer to become so engrossed in the characters and the story that there isn't space for thinking about who the readers are and what their likes and dislikes are. The reviewers are on their side. if they don't get what you are about, or interpret the story in a way that is contrary to what you intended, the so will the readers.

In Brigid's case Lauren seems to have enjoyed what she read. Thank you.
