Book Blogger Hop # 28 / Follow Friday # 44
Q: How do you handle the writing of a negative review? This is always tricky, especially if I received the book directly from the author. Even if I didn't enjoy the book overall, I always try to find at least one positive thing to say. For me it's about balance - having both good and bad present so the review does not imply absolute condemnation. 
This week will be a bit of a cop-out for me since my current read is The Time Traveller's Wife. Having already seen the film, I cannot imagine anyone else in the roles but Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams.

Michael Sussman (Author of Crashing Eden) - Interview
Today I welcome author Michael Sussman to the blog to tell us more about his writing and his latest release, Crashing Eden.
1) Tell us a bit about yourself and your writing.
I’ve always loved to write. As a teenager I wrote poetry, short stories, and song lyrics. In graduate school I wrote a dissertation that became the basis for my first book, A Curious Calling: Unconscious Motivations for Practicing Psychotherapy. I also edited a follow-up volume, A Perilous Calling: The Hazards of Psychotherapy Practice.
When my son was a little guy, I read piles of picture books to him. Although some were excellent, I felt many of the books were kind of boring or condescending toward children. I decided to write a book that challenged kids’ minds, and the result was Otto Grows Down, a story about a boy who becomes trapped in reverse time when he makes a birthday wish that his baby sister was never born.
