Anyone read Unladylike Pursuits and love it so much you want to write up a glowing five-star review on Amazon?? Today I got my first one star (anonymous) review and I'm not taking it as well as I should. I am fully aware that this book is not for everyone, much as I wish it could be. But still, it dulls the sparkle of a perfectly good day.
I need a 'poor baby'.

Basic Facts
- Alyssa Goodnight
- I have a bit of a crush on Jane Austen. Enough of one that my humorous women's fiction novel features her as a character--kinda, sorta. I'm repped by Rebecca Strauss of McIntosh & Otis and AUSTEN-TATIOUS will be published by Kensington Books in Feb 2012. I'll keep you posted.
(fyi...I self-published my first book, a Regency historical entitled UNLADYLIKE PURSUITS, in case you were curious)
This blog runs the gamut from alpacas to Zooey Deschanel. So stick around.

I found it to be absolutley darling! Don't let others nagativity get you down :)
What courage to leave a negative anonymous review!
Cheer down, Alyssa. You know you wrote a damn fine debut.
You two are so sweet! Thank you for the pick-me-up!
Your book was wonderful! Someday I will write a post about how amazon reviews of other people who wrote my favorite books have scared me away from ever being a writer.
I went to check out the review before I commented. The reviewer hasn't even finished reading the book. Nothing is more annoying to me than someone who trashes a book without finishing it first.
It's been a while since I've read your book but I do recall that I liked it a lot. Don't let one idiot reviewer get you down.
It feels like punch in the gut, don't it? As I always say... screw 'em. ;)
You should never read the bad reviews. Just sayin'.
You guys are the best!!
Ok, I'm just sayin, I went and read her review and other reviews that she has written on other books and she just seems mean! I don't think you should take it personally. It doesn't seem like she enjoys much! Love ya Alyssa!
