The Checkout Girl's first review

It's a good one and it made me laugh. Short but sweet, it can be found in the Winnipeg Free Press: http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/entertainment/books/novel_scores_with_skating_theme.html

On a more personal note, winter animals are on the prowl. After a snowshoe around Red Island Trail, my friend, Marion, and I spotted a beautiful, healthy young moose browsing alongside the road near the Fire Hall. Andy saw lynx tracks along our brook. There are sightings of mythical cougar, mythical because it is said there are no cougar in Nova Scotia. Honey and I flushed a rabbit on our early morning walk. And under a wild apple tree along our snowshoe path, Honey and I discovered what I can only think was a grouse hole in the snow. It been dug up by either a fox or a coyote though there were no feathers, no blood to show a grouse had been killed.

Fresh snow reveals all.

I knew it! It was only a matter of time until the reviewers of the world latched on to your novel.
I loved it and look forward to your next one.
