It’s always fun to find a new review two or so years after your book came out. Here’s a new review of Becoming the Villainess at a site named “Pen and Cape” – a great name for a blog, I wish I’d thought of it:

The design of the site is pretty cool too. Thanks, mysterious superhero reviewer! (Note: my book actually came out in 2006, not 2002. But, you know, small detail.)
A haiku for April’s poem-a-day thing, inspired by a 95 degree day yesterday here in SoCal:
palm tree fronds
serrate the hot sky
with jagged green teeth
