Reviews and Other Stuff

For the first couple of weeks after a book release, I read reviews to see what people liked and what they didn’t. It helps shape future books in a small way.

Currently, Her Perfect Mate only has two reviews. The 1-star review sent me for a tailspin of checking the book for errors. I can’t argue with opinion, but I can dispute facts. Missy’s eyes are brown. I’m not sure where the reviewer got the idea that they were blue. Both Missy and Rick have brown eyes. All my female main characters, with the exception of Veracity in Dark, have had brown eyes. That kept me up last night. Now that I’ve gotten that off my mind….

I’m working on the next Bioexpa book. Thus far, it’s slow going as I get caught in a loop of obsessively checking on a recent release.

I’m thinking of either deleting or simplifying the Books tab as I am doing a terrible job of keeping it updated. Every time I even think of updating it, I put it off for another day. Also, I don’t like the appearance of it. The page is glitched.

On a personal front, I’m trying to work out a time to take my Newfoundland for her summer haircut and bath. She’s beautiful as she is but she’ll be more comfortable with a little less fluff. 

Until next time, everyone enjoy your summer!

  1. Ms Thayer you are one of my absolute favourite authors and thats for a reason. Just finished Her Perfect Mate and as usual it was straight 🔥. Read it in 2 days and that's ONLY because I work long hours. Lol. I saw 4 stars when I purchased and thought to myself that's crazy. After reading it and giving a 5 star rating I'm still baffled. So glad to see you're still at it cuz I was worried for a while there. Lol. You have a gift that's indeed worth sharing! Be encouraged 💛💛

  2. Thank you so much. It wasn't so much the rating that was bothering me because I've seen very poor ratings on books that I've absolutely loved. I'm happy with a four. It was the mention of the blue eyes that threw me for a loop. Don't worry. I haven't quit writing. And thanks again for the encouraging words.

  3. I absolutely loved Her Perfect Mate! I just finished it after a long week at school. Her Sweet Alpha has been a go-to comfort read for me since I first discovered your works. I was overjoyed at the continuation of the Stone series. To read about Halle and Dade again was everything but learning more about Missy and the development between her and Rick was chef's kiss. I love your work. Down with the naysayers and keep doing what you're doing. 💛💛💛
