There is...Thanks, and I understand your reluctance. There is, I suppose, a difference between criticising a dead author and one living - especially a self publisher - though a bad book is a bad book. And should I decide to self publish 'Clay Cross' I'll be open to criticism too. :)Mike Keytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116528233058221536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644036152805047632.post-1752063809197791732015-01-12T00:55:45.232-08:002015-01-12T00:55:45.232-08:00Do I have to spill??

I met him doing a book launch in Waterstones and thought I'd support him by buying a copy lol DRChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03352970077497112668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644036152805047632.post-57121971039473660672015-01-10T05:54:42.647-08:002015-01-10T05:54:42.647-08:00Dawn, for goodness sake spill!

That's why I'm warning everyone about this book - at the same time advertising it for masochists or those who want to see for themselves : )Mike Keytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116528233058221536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644036152805047632.post-25779035123993951932015-01-09T05:18:17.672-08:002015-01-09T05:18:17.672-08:00Haha. Straight to the point. I've read a coup...Haha. Straight to the point. I've read a couple of bad books, but there was one that was so dire I used it as an example of how NOT to write a novel. It's about three people from different classes in society, all sitting in one room arguing with each other. what the room was, why they were sitting there or how they got there was another thing. If it was playing with the minds of people, I didn't get it. And the worst part was, the author actually wrote it as a play and it's on tour!!! How!!!
