Over on Poets.Media,
Laura DiNovis reviewed my poetry collection, West
Side Girl & Other Poems: “West Side Girl is Lauren Scharhag's only
book of poems as of yet, but lovers of new and exciting poetry will find
themselves hoping that she will feel compelled to assemble another collection,
one that is filled with equally visceral language that will continue to send
chills down their spines.”
On Amazon, I also received a new five-star review on The
Winter Prince. "Outrageous fun... Within this one magical tale, I
reflected on other magical tales that I’d read as a child: Little Red Riding
Hood with the woodcutter, Rip Van Winkle, the Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow
White and the Seven Dwarfs. Like these old tales, this one is lovely and fresh,
magical and deep."
Big thanks to both these reviewers! I am always so humbled to know someone out there is reading and enjoying my work.
In case you missed it, I have completed a first draft of Necropolis
(The Order of the Four Sons, Book V). I am hoping for an August or September
release. I have posted a new excerpt for your delectation here.
And last, but certainly not least, my work appeared in a few more publications this month:
My poem, "eDreams"
was on Duane's PoeTree Blog, which marks my third appearance on his site. I'm
pleased to be a regular.
My Lovecraftian short story, “The Seven Wives of Richard
Copeland," was released in Schlock's Quarterly anthology, a compendium of
the prior months' best work. It's available for purchase on Lulu here.
Or you can read it on their webzine archives here.
And finally, my poem, "Whale Songs at 52 Hertz," appeared
on Dying
Dahlia Review. This poem was inspired by an article I read about the world's loneliest whale.
Thank you to all the lovely editors and reviewers out there who believe
in me. As some writer or other has said, there's no money in writing, and even
when there is, there's not much money, so I find so much joy in all of these
little victories. Thank you for letting me share them with you.
