Seal Cove Reception

After a couple of weeks, the reviews are starting to come in and I’m both pleased and surprised. I had expected The Seal Cove Theoretical Society to get mixed reviews. Character-driven novels appeal to a certain demographic while leaving others cold. However, so far the reviews on Amazon and Goodreads have been really positive. Maybe it’s a matter of the cover and blurb attracting the right kind of readers.

Like the characters, the novel is flawed, or at least it’s not perfect, but perfectionists never finish a project. There comes a point of diminishing returns, where the time spent polishing needs to be reserved for the next book, the next characters. I can see now where it might be improved, but there comes a time when you just have to let your babies out into the world for better or worse and hope for the best. I’m so pleased that strangers are getting to know and to like them.
