...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.

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

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.
