IndieReader, the popular and informative web-zine about self-published books, reviewed\u00a0A Real Piece of Work<\/em> back in February and gave the novel 5 stars.<\/p>\n

So when I published\u00a0The Rich Are Different<\/em> over the summer, I submitted the novel to them for a possible review. They were swamped at the time, but I followed up with them last week, and today, less than a week later, they published a review of the second book.<\/p>\n

Another 5-star review.<\/p>\n

Read the review of\u00a0A Real Piece of Work<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Read the review of\u00a0The Rich Are Different<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

The reviewer of both books,\u00a0Maya Fleischmann, creates some nice turns of phrase in her reviews. She writes, “Action, lust, danger, style and witty repartee, Orcutt\u2019s A Real Piece of Work<\/em> is a work of art.”\u00a0And of\u00a0The Rich Are Different<\/em> she writes, “Dakota Stevens is thoroughly likeable and appealing with his rich mix of chivalry and clever mischief.”\u00a0There are several other examples, but I’ll let you read them for yourself.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Besides promoting the reviews, there is no larger point of this blog entry, except perhaps to acknowledge that like all writers, I want my work to be liked and accepted. Certainly reviews from regular readers mean just as much to me as IndieReader’s, but there is something especially nice about having a professional stamp of approval. They even sent me a “sticker,” shown here.<\/p>\n

Thank you for putting up with this rambling, gloating entry. Sometimes, though, you have to stop and savor the small successes, and this is one of them.<\/p>\n
