Today, Legacy of the Empress got its first review! And it didn't suck!

"A good story teller has the ability to create a connection with the reader and truly capture them within the pages, I was hooked by the first chapter and couldn't put it down."

Man, was I nervous about what the first review would say. This is my first major novel, so I'm sure you guys have been there. Am I a "real" writer? What if I get booed off the kindle??

I think everything is going to be okay . Feels good!

Thanks for letting me share!

Hi Rebecca,
Congratulations on the good review!
Nice work.

Thanks, Jenn!   

I'd actually been having nightmares about my first review being a one-star over something silly, so this was a relief.  I mean, I believed in it, but it's strange/scary/exciting being "out there" for all to see.

Yay!

I know what you mean about the angst-ing.

 

[Tiphanie Thomas]

Congrats! I understand the feeling.

Yey for you.

I can imagine how you felt, I'm still waiting for mine, so...

 

[William Peter Grasso]

I know how you feel, Rebecca. I just got my first big review a few days ago, too (5 stars!! Fantastic Historical Fiction, she called it!)

I guess I'm giddy for the both of us...

Now relax. Take a deep breath. Go write more.

Congrats, Rebecca. Nothing like getting a satisfied reader to proclaim how much they enjoyed your book. It validates why you put in all those hours of hard work into writing your book.

You guys are the best!    Thank you for celebrating this moment with me!

@elalond Here's hoping yours comes soon, and that it's fabulous!

@Kevis Ha, you're so right.  I'm already cooking up something new, and I need to get on it!

 

[RM Prioleau]

Congratulations! The first review is always the most nerve-wracking! Cherish it forever! ^_^

 

[RebeccaKnight]

Ha! I totally will  .  I might just print it out and put it up on the refrigerator...

 

[HeidiHall]

That's fantastic! Congratulations .

Grats!

I had a couple good reviews to start, but they were from friends. Now, my friends will typically be straight-up with thier reviews, so I know they liked it, but there was a special thrill for me to see the first "non-friend" review, and a 4-star review at that!

Keep up the good work. I'm excited to see my next few reviews; hopefully they'll be just as good.

Congrats!

You shouldn't have worried.  You're too good of a writer to be getting one-star reviews.

 

[samanthawarren]

Congrats! Now go celebrate!

 

[Monique]

Congratulations! That first one is so nerve-wracking. Phew!

 

[RebeccaKnight]

Thanks, everyone!    I'm glad to know that I wasn't alone in being neurotic, and I totally will go raise a glass to celebrate.

@swolf:  DUDE.  Thank you for that!

Thanks, Dana!    I just clicked through and "liked" your book.  Good luck with it!
