Change in Review Policy at Obsidian Bookshelf  

Hello, everybody. I'm afraid the time has come for me to stop accepting review copies from authors. Readers, rest easy. I'm NOT going to stop writing reviews. From here on, I'll be acquiring my m/m fiction myself (that is, buying it), and I'll keep posting reviews on a regular basis.  However, in order to keep my schedule in balance, I've decided to stop accepting review copies from individual authors.

 

I am very grateful for the fabulous fiction I've received from everybody during the past two years – it has paved the way for my website and blog, and has given me a wonderful introduction to what the m/m fiction genre is all about. I've read some truly outstanding fiction. 

 

The upside is that I'll still be reviewing (though not on request), and – while my own schedule might not line up with everybody's release dates – my purchases will definitely be adding to everybody's revenue, ha, ha! (I've got a couple more reviews that I promised people that I would do, and those are still forthcoming.) Thanks, everyone, for your understanding!

Oh, also, I'll be dropping off the blogosphere for about a week while I wrap up some other projects.  So I won't be checking my LiveJournal until then.  See you all in about a week!

I'm glad you're still reviewing. I like reading your reviews (besides my own, I mean*g*). I hope this means you are giving yourself more time for your own writing.

Hi, Tamara! Thank you. Yes, I'll still be doing reviewing to my own schedule, and it should free up a lot more time for my writing. I'm looking forward to it!
