RR Update: Belated Reviews

-
Hey there!

This is just a quick update for authors waiting on reviews scheduled for this month that haven't yet been posted. Due to some family and holiday chaos, some of the reviews have been belated or generally missing. Regretfully, a few have been rescheduled later this week and early January.

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience, and thank you all for the patience, understanding, and good-natured responses to the missing posts. I'm currently flying through the piles, and will try to as many reviews as possible up, posted, and cross-posted beautifully.

With thanks and well-wishes for the holiday season,
Miranda of Ricochet Reviews

In this new world of books made possible by the Internet, no one is left to guard the door. To tell the reader what is what. This state of affairs may introduce an element of confusion for dogmatic readers, but the good news is, new breeds of literature are being created. Self-publishing allows literature to cross over in new ways. Traditional Christian fiction publishers, for instance, disallow most references to sex, and even the most juvenile profanity. Self-publishing changes this. Not to suggest a writer should ever debase a genre—as writers we are obliged to choose our words carefully. But the old Christian book

Marketing, Or How I Proved the Existence of Hell. Self-publishing requires either A) no skills and being totally deluded as to the reality of success in the book market, or B) no skills and the reality you’re going to have to learn a lot. And that’s a simple fact. Between writing, editing, formatting, choosing a printer, choosing retailers, web development, content generation, typesetting, book trailers and the fifty other things I’m forgetting, you’re certain to encounter a challenge for which you are in no way prepared, and not only are you not prepared, your desire to become prepared hovers somewhere near the axis of zero. I discovered mine on January 11, 2012--Marketing. Marketing’s an entirely deceptive term. W

The Strong Female I am always amazed to hear that, in the year 2012, women are still talking about strong female characters. It’s funny that we’re always surprised when one comes along. Even in Hollywood, actresses still can’t find roles to sink their teeth into. As a reader, I look for characters that I can relate to in some way; a character who is more than a damsel in distress but less than an unfeeling, mean, witch. I’m putting it gently, but I’m looking for someone, who when facing a problem, doesn’t necessarily need a man to bail her out--a woman who can take care of herself in spite of her vulnerabilities. Because in reality, women are multi-layered and complex. We don’t fall to one end of an extreme o
