My mom loved it. Do you really need the opinion of professional journals?
Okay, here we go, the professional journals are starting to weigh in on The Fall (September, Macmillan). Kirkus Reviews has a reputation for bringing the snark, for the unkindest cut, so it’s always good to get out unflayed, skin intact. In truth, I’ve found that they’ve been fair to me and I am grateful for the critical attention.
Thank you, Kirkus, whoever you are!
Actually — the truth — I’m never happy unless I get a star. I want to write great books. I want people to think they are great books. And I mean, by “people,” folks other than my beautiful, 89-year-old mother.
That’s the aspiration anyway.

“With its timely, important message and engaging prose style, Sam’s journal ought to find a large readership.”
