Since the re-release of my books with the new covers (quite pleased about those, see full cover below), I have had several folks purchase the books and one new review on my first novel, Toe the Line (see here), the story that takes place in Seattle and deals with a murder mystery around a triathlete.

The latest review is from "musiclover" who writes:
I really enjoyed this book. It kept me guessing the entire time. The ending was a little abrupt but it was ok anyway.
When I was a youngster I loved reading Stephen King novels. I hated how long and drawn out his endings were. The Stand, IT, I think even Salem's Lot, all of them had such horrible, almost unendurably long endings. I just wanted it over by the time I got to those final few pages. I remember deliberately trying to be precise in my writing in the end of Toe the Line. I didn't want people to be bored. I wanted it to be a climax to the end that came in a whoosh.
I would love to talk to musiclover about her thoughts.
Still she gave me a 4-star review. I'll take a 4-star review. Toe the Line has gotten four 5-star reviews, eight 4-star reviews, and four 3-star reviews. As long as she gives me 4-star or 5-star reviews she can think my endings are abrupt.
I think what I will do is track down ole musiclover and see what she thought was so abrupt. Could be an interesting exercise.
