Blogetary (Weblog + Commentary = Blogetary)

I didn’t post this last week as I was distracted, what with my e-novella coming out and all! (*dances yet another little jig*)

Anyway, C. Leigh Purtill, who is the author of Love, Meg and All About Vee, wrote a wonderful review about my little e-novella, The Holly and the Ivan. I think my favorite quotes from her are: “Rachel Olivier is a master at using just the right word. Every sentence feels chosen, not merely written.” and “Rachel’s stories are immensely entertaining and readable and I enjoy them as much as I enjoy stories from the best urban fantasy writers like Emma Bull, Melissa Marr and Holly Black (well, those are my favorites!).”  Every time I read those words I feel all warm and cozy inside. I know I won’t always get good words like that written about my stories or poetry, but it’s nice to appreciate them when I get them.

It’s been a good week, almost like Christmas.  That’s all I can say.
