I Got a Review!
Okay, so it isn't a professional review, but I'm still glad to get it. It shows that someone has read my story Sanctuary of the Mind (which is still free, by the way) all the way through and enjoyed it. I've also had some very encouraging comments from a couple of other people at the Lulu forums, for which I'm very grateful.
You can read the review by clicking the title at my Lulu storefront, but I'd like to post it here anyway. If anyone's interested, I'd love to hear your comments about it.
A novelette that will make you think... [ No Rating ] 16 Jul 2007 (updated 16 Jul 2007)

I'll just start this out by saying that I dove into Sanctuary of the Mind without any recognition of the author or his work. But I must say that I was not disappointed.
Sanctuary of the Mind is about a man named Leslie who--like some of the men and women who live on the outskirts of society--is addicted to drugs. He and his girlfriend have been living off drugs for a while and Sanctuary of the Mind delves into what drugs can do to a person.
I can't say too much about the novelette because--due to its length--I would end up spoiling it, but I will say right now that I really enjoyed reading this. It's a good 36 pages of material and not once does the author let you down.
A thriller, a suspense, a deeply-involved plot that keeps you reading... That's all I can say about Sanctuary of the Mind without spoiling it for the readers. I'd recommend downloading this from Lulu; it's in an e-book format and if you make a Lulu account for anything it should be to download this novelette.
I applaud Mr. Southard on this piece. It kept me reading the whole way through.

That is exactly the sort of review every author wants. Well done, Michael. I'm sure it will be the first of many.
Congratulations, Michael! A good review feels so... well... GOOD. Great job!
Thank you, Dawn and Thomma!
That's a great review! Congratulations, and I hope it's the first of many.
And how's that towel boy job coming? :) Thanks, by the way, for livening things up over at my place while I was gone. You guys totally cracked me up!
Thank you, Crabby, and you're welcome!
Uh...well, they hired me but fired me the very next day...they caught me flirting with one of the patrons!
