I revived a glowing review
of In The Wicker Wood that encouraged people to buy my book.
I received a terrible
review of In The Wicker Wood that warned customers about buying the
book, and encouraged them not to buy it.
Well I hear you all say
what's wrong with that? We need to take the rough with the smooth.
I would: if both reviews
were not written and posted - albeit a few months apart by the same
reader/reviewer.
The Self Same Reviewer.
A while ago I stopped
participating on the Createspace Discussion Forum because the same
person kept telling me on a Monday I was a great writer and then on
Friday when I disagreed with something he said - I was a terrible
person, writer and human being.
We call people like that
by several names in Ireland but mostly we say they are Flaky.
But the real answer is
simpler. The first review was flattering to me and flattering to the
writer since the piece was more about showing how well read this
person thought he was. I said that on a Tweet at the time and got a
nasty reply back.
The glowing comments on my
work was also an attempt to get me to join his Buddy Review Club.
The second review was
posted a few months after I pointed out inconsistencies in logic in
his second book, and suggested it should be re-visited.
Now Mr X has a new book
for sale.
And I am about to release
my next two offerings on Amazon Kindle
The project is a series of
15 Minute Reads.
The first is titled Caged
Bird and is a one act play. The second is a rewrite of Buteo buteo, the story of
love lost, despair, and resurrection of the mind.
Interesting times!
