Thank you all very much. It did help to take the sting out of a few recent rejections.
Lyn-From the list of postings, it looks like they have been reviewing the Town Drunk regularly, along with a host of other publications.

Way to go. I've found good reviews to be tougher to get than sales, so you are well deserving of your brag!

...from a non-relation or editor.  My story The Importance of Portents was reviewed by Carole Ann Moleti in The Fix here and although short, (with a spoiler or two), it was very positive.  The phrases "well-paced" and "clever writing" make an appearance so I am more than happy with it.  Since this is my first, and positive, and I doubt I'll always be so lucky with future reviews I'm bragging while I can.
