I just want to let you know how lucky you all are. You are reading the blog of an internationally recognized reviewer.
(Wow, don't I sound pompus?)
Seriously, though, last weekend I got an e-mail from Lee Goldberg, author of the Monk tie-in novels. He was in Germany on business and picked up a copy of Mr. Monk Goes to Germany in paperback. Guess who had two lines from his Amazon review quoted on the back cover? Me!!
Lee bought a copy of the book and sent it to me. Yes, the lines are in German, but I was able to guess what they said with a little help from the actual review.
Anyway, I am quite honored and thrilled, as you can well imagine. This is the first time (I know of, anyway) that my reviews have been quoted on the books themselves. I know parts have been quoted by authors on their websites before, which is also an honor.
CONGRATULATIONS MARK!
ReplyDeleteThat is so absolutely awesome! You need to order one for yourself (maybe Susi can help?)
Ignore what I said about getting a copy of the book - I misread that - for some reason I thought you had said that he emailed you a copy of the back cover.
ReplyDeleteYes I am not awake.
Believe me, if he hadn't sent me a copy of the book (which was very thoughtful of him), I would have been asking Susi to get one for me. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks!
Way Cool! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome. Now I wish that I'd asked you for your autograph before you were famous...now you'll probably charge me, ;-).
ReplyDeleteWay to go Mark!
ReplyDeleteYou have another surprise coming in the mail...I just got it from my publisher unexpectedly today.
