So, hey, it turns out I can reveal the March 1 news early, because the review was posted online today. Here goes…
Lois Lane: Fallout got a STARRED REVIEW from Kirkus!
Kirkus! Snippet:
"This lighthearted and playful tone permeates the novel, making for a nifty investigative mystery akin to Veronica Mars or Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Readers are in for a treat. A spectacular prose start for DC Comics' spectacular lady."
This is my first-ever starred review, and I reacted with complete class and composure when my editor called to tell me. I believe my exact words were: ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME?
This is perhaps embarrassing to admit, but true and so I will tell you that mere days before I got this news I had told some friends that I'd come to terms with the fact that I would probably never be the kind of writer who got starred reviews. Thank you, universe, for proving me wrong. Lesson: Complaining works. 😉
Congratulations!! I predict many more stars in your future.
Jen, you’re too kind! And thank you. <3
