(...)An unforgettable and captivating journey that readers will be thinking of long after finishing the book.
Of course, when you put your creation out there, whether it is a book, an artwork, a song, a dress, or even a new car or house design, many people are bound NOT to like it. This is one of the first teachings any creative person must learn fast: do not take criticism too personally, instead learn from it. Dig within any negative review whatever can be constructive for your work.
And so as I recently started to approach renown book blogs by private individuals or professionals, I braced myself for the few harsh words to come – that is, if they would have the time or inclination to read GATEKEEPERS. It is a slow process. However, Red Headed Book Lover Blog was interested in my novel, read it, and loved it!
Instead, Bonfils-Bedos likes to make sure that her readers are kept on edge, I most certainly was, and it made for a fascinating, exciting read; one that had me turning the pages with haste!
(...) Incredible plot development, enigmatic characters, and superb descriptions, I, of course, have to award the book five stars! So please, do have a read of Gatekeepers and get lost in a time travel, fantasy adventure… you won’t regret it!
To write that I am thrilled by her review is an understatement. Reading her article the first time, I stood up and punch the air. Then, I was dancing on site. Toward the end, I was jumping up and down with excitement.
And there was more to come: Aimee Ann, who runs the blog, suggested next to do an author’s profile with a little interview for her readers. ‘Would I be interested?’ she asked. ‘Yes!’ I replied.
And so I had my first ‘author’s profile’ and a brief interview on a book blog. It feels a little strange and incredibly good.
Virginie is clearly a passionate writer, and I am excited for her future as an author because I already know great things are ahead for her and I very rarely write this about an author! Please find now my Q&A with Virginie, I hope you enjoy it.
