(She writes a detective series as well, and those are also great.)<br /><br />@Linda - Thanks! I've had some readers tell me they thought the novel was "Rachel's story". At the risk of repeating myself, I'm fascinated by the variety in reactions.Cathryn Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03665896654352405640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6443074968594188177.post-50079894687259718812011-03-17T10:39:41.582-06:002011-03-17T10:39:41.582-06:00Love your post, Cathryn!

I bought your book for my Nook a couple of days ago...haven't started it, but I plan on it tonight...I don't have to drive any kids to soccer practice, so I have the night free to read. I'll touch base with you after I've read it.

Keep up the good work, both of you.

In your book, Cathryn, I was drawn to Rachel because I've been in her shoes in relation to an Amy-like character. The wonderful fact is if characters resonate with readers, it's because they're well-drawn. Congratulations on that!<br /><br />And thank you Sabrina for having Cathryn on your blog.Linda Cassidy Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17105748665483726537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6443074968594188177.post-4729799864169280072011-03-17T07:54:47.608-06:002011-03-17T07:54:47.608-06:00After reading Sabrina's review of your book I ...After reading Sabrina's review of your book I knew that I had to read it. I have never been interested in reading psychological suspense before, but after reading your blog I have decided it's a genre that I really need to get into. Thanks Cathryn for writing, and for the guest blog and thanks Sabrina for this great blog that introduces us to new works.gbeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04580503985121407172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6443074968594188177.post-48792394893151875012011-03-17T07:33:42.216-06:002011-03-17T07:33:42.216-06:00I've been a fan of your writing since I found ...I've been a fan of your writing since I found you on Twitter. Your flash fiction has always made me think and that is what I love about reading. <br /><br />I do have empathy for others that have suffered misfortune. It might not have seemed that way with my reaction to Amy Lewis in The Demise of the Soccer Moms, but in all honesty, her character, well...she struck a nerve with me. <br /><br />With that being said, don't ever change your reasons for writing. Your writing works and I'm looking forward to the next book. <br /><br />Thanks for guest posting today! I really, really appreciate it.Sabrina E.
