Nice timing!

This morning I discovered that an African violet I'd rescued from a fifty-cent table some while ago had finally decided to bloom. The blossom is just the first on a curled stem of buds that look promising.

Later in the morning, I received word that the first review of Shrinking Violets had shown up. And in the most wonderful place -- the Globe and Mail.

But then, a couple of friends who've read the book said, "Oooh, spoiler alert!"

So, if you've read the book (or don't mind a possible spoiler), here's a link to the piece which considers four current novellas from Quattro Books.

I can only hope that with the rest of the blossoms to come, there might be even more such good news.
