I've resisted clicking on your hyperlink to find out.<br /><br />My comments weren't intended as a review, just a commentary on what I'd been reading.<br /><br />And, as I pointed out,there were a number of stories in there I really enjoyed. The 'punny' stories didn't really work for me (yet others may love them)and I felt the book was overlong. I'd have loved to have see it trimmed to half its size - a tight, slim volume of top notch stories.<br /><br />And, as I said in my blog entry, the author is a good writer - certainly better than me.<br /><br />This is why I don't write reviews. I feel terrible when I hurt someone's feelings - but I thought about it last night, and the comments I made were pretty much what I would have said to the author if we were sat face to face in a crit group.<br /><br />I buy a lot of local and small press books. I feel we need to support these publishers and authors. And I'd love to see these writers continue to succeed. <br /><br />I truly hope your book does well for you.Steve Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10106089594319834481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738437699304503801.post-27315272602345211462010-06-25T07:45:33.169+01:002010-06-25T07:45:33.169+01:00I believe I know the local-author collection you r...I believe I know the local-author collection you refer to ... indeed, I believe I may even have written it. And I appreciate your forebearance in not naming it, although as a writer I'd hope I can cope with the bad press along with the good. Anyway, thanks for the honesty of your response to the book, and I'm glad you did at least enjoy parts of it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
