(A series by the way which has fallen into a caricature of itself. Still good, but a lot more "well, that's just dumb" uttered by me. IOW, the writing is going downhill) As the linked post above attests - or also likely the guy was just having a bad day? - but he appears to be quite the arrogant SOB. If he wanted to give good advice publicly how about give good advice? You'd think he'd be too busy to trifle with all that is beneath him, non? 364207@blogcritics.org Sat, 6 May 2006 17:46:36 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/01/30/112635.php#comment-312807 It's an opportunity to see a book before publication. I tried not to give much of the plot away. ... I'm also going to run this in my newspaper and it will likely get picked up by a couple others in the (small) chain. Cheers.

It is unique to say the least that an editor would spend their precious time to review a novel from an unknown writer. You have my deepest gratitude, Steve 312795@blogcritics.org Mon, 30 Jan 2006 11:54:31 EST
