For Mere Mortals

Queer Magazine Online gives it a hearty thumbs up, saying

'Mere Mortals' is a powerfully moving saga which carries its characters down many different paths, leaving clues for the reader to snatch up in its wake. The story begins at a slow, deliberate pace and builds in speed until it bursts at the seams with the revelation of the truth. It's a great story, written in true gothic style which keeps you guessing until the end.

Which is great – if I can sustain the mystery like that, I've done it right. Phew.

and the reviews at Good Reads are uniformly good, it's a little disquieting—but I suppose that it's the people who like my work who buy the book first, so good reviews are inevitable early on!  I'm very grateful, anyway. I don't know if other authors are like this (pathetic and fearing the worst).
