What a grand day I’ve had. A few weeks ago I received a request from Civilian Reader to write a piece for the Influences & Inspirations series; and as often happens, having to write about it made me think about it, and see connections that were always there but that I hadn’t been consciously aware of. The post turned out to be all about stories, and went up early this morning:

Influences & Inspirations | Civilian Reader

Then the first review of Binary was posted – and it’s a corker:

Rewriting the Script: A Review of BINARY by Stephanie Saulter | Over the Effing Rainbow

And … corker redux! A new review of Gemsigns:

GEMSIGNS by Stephanie Saulter | Bookworm Blues

Will I ever turn into one of those writers who ‘never reads the reviews’? Not as long as they’re like this.

(I’m even feeling chuffed enough to put up another link to this post. Because Friday was pretty marvellous too.)
