Things my first readers have told me, aside from the invaluable editorial assistance:
"Pretty cool."
"Ohhh, she's a cold one, isn't she?"
"I didn't know that was why officers did that."
"Damn, but I developed a cramp in my arm after I read that."
"It's clear you know what the fuck you're talking about."
"Those two sound an awful lot alike, but then they're partners, so I guess it flies."
"I keep thinking the partners are likely Laurel and Hardy, except the one is big and the other bigger, huh?"
"He's clearly a sociopath, but I can sooo see why, and as an added bonus, he's fuckin' awesome."
"When I finished it, I had to go back and read the first fifty pages and see what I missed! It's all there, you asshole!"
It feels rather amazing to know readers get what I'm putting down.
Getting comments from readers, aside from copy comments or skim 'good write, good read' comments, makes my entire day. Good quotes. I hope you keep getting that kind of reaction.
