I'm Sure It's An Amateur's Reaction

...but I do a little dance of joy when some random reader gives me four stars at Goodreads.

I don't have many readers.  (I've done no marketing whatsoever, and am not looking to do much until November, really.)  But I'm so proud--no, honestly, relieved--that strangers have given Sword and Chant an average now approaching four stars on Goodreads.  No two- or one-star ratings.  Whew!

Putting something out there without the endorsement of a third-party publisher is a nerve-scratching decision.  It's nice to know that at least a few strangers thought it a good decision.

And now that my happy dance is done... back to work on Sand of Bone.
