PRIDE'S CHILDREN

My only other option?

To REMOVE the love story, and I think it’s a little late for that. ********** Suggestions welcome. ********** Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Like Loading...

Summary Judgement: Your Verdict?

It’s useful, workable, awkward, wrong or misnuanced in places, and usable. It took me long enough to clean up the text, but on the book’s Amazon page, it is easy to use. I think it will provide enough information – and some overload – for most readers.

But this FEAR you speak of – what’s that?

That’s where I’m in uncharted territory, and have only my own experience to go by. I remember, as a kid, reading books I didn’t want to share. As long as no one else knew about the book (I was a kid – probably more naive than most), it was mine. No one else had walked across the pristine snow in clunky boots. No one else knew the characters I had fallen in love with.

Does this apply to reviewing a book I really like?

Dunno. I review very few books. Reviewing a book is pulling yourself out of it and trying to analyze it – and I don’t want to do that if I like it. I don’t want to know that hordes of people like the same book I do – they can like what they like, but I don’t necessarily want to know about it, unless it emerges in a small conversation such as those that happen on blog posts you like enough to comment on at length.

When will the audiobooks happen?

That’s the biggie. Originally, I hoped to do the audio recordings as a activity after the day’s writing was finished. Reality intervenes: on days when I get a functional chunk of time, and use it for writing, there is NOTHING left after, because I run out of steam, I’m chronically behind in the writing, and I do have a bit of a life.
