warm fuzzies

Spent yesterday chatting on the Joyfully Reviewed loop with the Planet Manlove group of gay romance authors, and had a good time. Not least because... well, sometimes none of the readers will say anything at all at these chats. But sometimes they make your day with comments about the books. Like this one when I mentioned the planned next book in the Buildup series:
"Yeah! More distopian fun :> Your writing reminds of some of the
darker Miles Vorkosigan books by Bujold. Similar asserbic wit. :>"
And yes, comparisons to Big Name Authors are always going to give the warm fuzzies. But *that* comparison... oh yeah. I'll be grinning for a week over that one. :-)
