afloat

I have to admit it's been rough waters these last couple of weeks in mia casa. But little things have kept me afloat, like air bubbles in a life preserver. One of these things is this review of "The Year of the Dog". Even though I received it a while ago, I reread it as if it is a long-lost love letter; which is perhaps what good reviews are like to an author. A review which truly understands your work is rare and extraordinary, like the discovery of a new friend. And that is something to hold onto.
