Another one of your most excellent reviews, Liz. I especially appreciated how reading influences your writing. You have given me something to think about this week.
Ooh this sounds intriguing! Thank you for the review, Liz; this is going on my TBR list!
By the way, I've been meaning to tell you that my daughter gave me a copy of "Samuel Johnson's Insults" for Christmas. It was on my wish list due to your recommendation, but I had forgotten, so it was a great surprise. I am enjoying it immensely!
Curiously, my usually-impatient ex didn't try to rush me along as I read excerpts at our gift-opening. Good thing, too: I was eminently well-armed! 😂
My pleasure, Kate! I'm so glad that you're adding The Vixen Amber Holloway to your TBR. I love that your daughter gave you "Samuel Johnson's Insults" and you're enjoying it.
Hi, Nadja. I liked The Vixen Amber Holloway better than Someday Everything Will All Make Sense. While I loved the academia satire in Someday, I just couldn’t warm to Luther.
As always, you write such thoughtful reviews, Liz. I'm intrigued by how you grew to sympathize with the character, as she seems like a character I would strongly dislike. (And btw, good luck with your new book!)
I just downloaded "Vixen Amber Holloway" on my Kindle at your recommendation and already I find the author's distance -- her objectivity -- and yet her own insight into character to be bracing.
Thank you, Colleen! It’s really looking as if having an author website on WordPress is fine, but we should probably switch to another platform for blogging. At some point.

Liz-
How does this novel compare to her first?
Thank you for taking the time to write and share your review.

Thank you, Merril. I was completely taken by surprise by how I reacted to Amber. Like you, I thought I would dislike her.
Liz Gauffreau: What a fine, insightful review.

Thank you for letting know, Armand! When you finish the book, I’d love to know what you think of it.
Thank you, Leonard. I hope you get a chance to read The Vixen Amber Holloway.

I haven't really been able to find my tribe on Bluesky, although I have a bunch of followers.
Okay, thank you for the suggestion, Colleen!
