Interview with Therese Fowler, Author of Reunion - Page 4

How do you deal with a bad review?

So much of how a review affects me depends on who's behind the review.  If the reviewer is someone whose assessment is well-informed and well-presented, I'm appreciative even of a “bad” review because it will help me learn how to do a better job in the future.  What's more often the case, not just for me but for most novelists, is that the bad review is actually a poorly informed or very subjective opinion rather than an objective critique - in which case it should be taken with the proverbial grain of salt.  You simply can't please everyone!

What’s next for you?

I'm about to turn in the manuscript for my 2010 release, presently titled Breakaway.  Right after that I'll be heading to Chicago to speak at the Chicago Tribune Printers Row Lit Fest, which is a phenomenal event.  Then I'll take a couple of months off from daily writing while I develop my next novel, which is also under contract.  I'm hoping to use some of my “free” time to learn to golf (which really is just another excuse to keep myself outdoors all day!).

Thank you for this interview, Therese!  Do you have any final words you’d like to share with my readers?

I appreciate this opportunity to be introduced to all of you.  I hope you'll give my books a look, and if you do, drop me a line and let me know what you think.  I love to hear from readers.  You are, after all, the reason I have the job I do.  Thanks so much, and take care.
