My publisher reviews Never Ceese--only at the time, he wasn't my publisher.

Never was I more honored than when Nicholas Grabowsky offered to give me a review of my debut novel Never Ceese. I rethought my logic several times after I turned the story over to him wondering if I'd completely lost my mind. This writer had been heralded by Stephen King and Clive Barker as one of the best horror writers out there and scribed Halloween IV. Who did I think I was soliciting him for his opinion on my "first" attempt at writing? 


Several times I sent him a message on Myspace (where he found me) to say, "really, don't worry about it if you don't have time. I understand" and other such messages designed to put me out of my misery and then . . . the review was posted. I read the first part peeking through fingers I'd covered my eyes with. Squinted as he seem to not really say one way or the other whether he liked the book and then gasping for breath at the finale. 

  I simply can't give Sue Dent enough praise for this work.  I truly adored it.  It read like the work of a master storyteller, its narrative virtually flawless. . . I highly recommend it and I can't recommend it enough.


No way did he write that, I recalled thinking.


No way!!


Framed and on my wall never to be replaced with another, the review hangs.

We kept tabs on each other after that and now I'm proud to say, still waiting for someone to pinch me and wake me up--that Mr. Grabowsky of Black Bed Sheet Books is currently my publisher.

Who'd a thunk it.
