Lissa Pattillo at Kuriousity sent me a few links to older reviews at her site (that URL is kuri-ousity.com; don’t forget the hyphen) including a relatively recent (September) write-up of Shirley:
“What aids Shirley considerably is the charm of its title character. She’s young and polite, and though calm and responsible, she still exudes enthusiasm and honesty like a girl her age, which makes her both admirable and easily likeable. For me this a far difference from the character, Emma, from her name-titled series, whose flat personality had the intent of sophistication but resulted more in dull tedium. Shirley on the other hand I find infectiously sweet and earnestly looked forward to her happiness even in such a short story.”
Also at Kuriousity are reviews of Vols 1 and 2 of Emma proper.

Yes, all the links are broken.
On June 1, 2015 (after 6 years and 11 months) I needed to relaunch/restart this blog, or at least rekindle my interest in maintaining and updating it.
Rather than delete and discard the whole thing, I instead moved the blog -- database, cms, files, archives, and all -- to this subdomain. When you encounter broken links (and you will encounter broken links) just change the URL in the address bar from www.rocketbomber.com to
archive.rocketbomber.com.
I know this is inconvenient, and for that I apologise. In addition to breaking tens of thousands of links, this also adversely affects the blog visibility on search engines -- but that, I'm willing to live with. Between the
Wayback Machine at Archive.org and my own half-hearted preservation efforts (which you are currently reading) I feel nothing has been lost, though you may have to dig a bit harder for it.
As always, thank you for reading. Writing version 1.0 of Rocket Bomber was a blast. For those that would like to follow me on the 2.0 -
I'll see you back on the main site.
