That's too bad, Christina. Smashwords ought to have a policy on spoilers. (Or do they already?)

I have gotten very few reviews so far (and I'm gearing up for some more negatives, since I've got a book of short stories I'm putting up today), but I have to admit that I need to get a little more thick-skinned about them. I got a one-star review (on the Nook bookstore) that called my story "predictable", which I found kind of amazing, considering I left the ending intentionally ambiguous and I actually had people ask me how the ending was supposed to be interpreted...

Anyway, I'm trying not to let stuff like that get to me.
