The first review fro The Petshani is in. Denise form Gotta Write says…
“THE PETSHANI has the makings of a wonderful novel if White could make that kind of commitment. Her creative imagery is white hot and demands your attention. Her characters are dimensional even in so few pages. “
Commitment?
OKay, so commitment isn’t my strong suit, but I do have to say that short stories is where my fiction career started, and although I write novellas and novels, I’ll still always do short stories. I think of someof them, (like The Petshani) as a mini series vs a movie. One that I’ll eventually write more installments (sequels) for.
But she liked the imagery…and thought it was hot. White Hot to be exact. I like it. 
And, I have a new Interview up at Fallen Angel Reviews for anyone interested.
Sasha, the story is what it is.
And I think that’s an awesome review!

by Deb April 5th, 2006 at 5:49 amIt’s a super review! She can’t know you’re doing novels now too, though. You work so hard across all lengths of story! Off to read your interview.
by Saskia April 5th, 2006 at 10:23 amCommitment? What’s with that!
I love writing/reading short stories and novellas. When you’re a busy person, it just gets too hard to sit down are read a full length book! White hot is good! *sizzle*

I’ve taken to looking at those comments about novellas as compliments because I see them pretty much across the board - “I wanted it to be longer!”
I only recently started writing shorter and I too think of my shorts as installments/episodes.
