Welcome to this edition of the Substitute Book Reviewer. While Ali is recovering her equilibrium, I’m driving this bus for a few posts. Allow me to introduce myself, I’m Melanie Ting. And I’m a writer, not a reviewer. Therefore my reviews will lack the professional polish of Ali’s work, but I hope to make up for it with goofy charm, humour, and Canadian spelling.
Ali is my fairy godmother. She thinks I’m not confident enough about promoting my books. She’s always telling me to buck up and show some attitude. The truth is that I love my writing, but I don’t think it’s for everyone. I write romances, but they’re always about hockey. Oh, and cats. I didn’t notice until I had finished about six stories, that there were cats in every one of them. That’s why I asked Ali to review my book, and not because she’s crazy about sports. In fact, given that she’s a Cali girl, I’m pretty darn sure she hasn’t even seen a hockey game. But—cats! I figured I’d get at least one star for cats.
