Tenterhooks, thy name is Kinkaid
So, the first galleys for Rock & Roll Never Forgets are landing on reviewers' desks. I'll just be over in the corner, feasting on my own fingernails, or maybe hyperventilating.
Normally, I shrug off reviews. It doesn't hurt that I usually get very good ones; Publishers Weekly and Library Journal have starred my books in the past, newspapers like me, it's all good. The occasional bad one stings for a bit, but that doesn't last. I read the stinger, see what they have to say, and if it's valid, I'm glad for the input and I try to implement.
On the Kinkaid Chronicles, though, I'm a bit more - I don't know. Vulnerable? Edgy? Maybe I just care more?
Oy. Going to be a long couple of months. I expect to have no fingernails left come June.

Breathe, baby, breathe. It's never easy, but you're an artist and a pro. The book is launched. It will land well!
