My guess is he(also) wrote a mystery trying to get laid. I had an idea before I got romantically rejected, luckily. Reviews help me figure out whether I'd like stuff sometimes, but pissiness like that annoys. And he is not allowed to harsh on my imaginary boyfriend, either. Jerk.ETA: Susan, I found something in my market newsletter that might be good for you. Insent.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I don't mind reviews; I can scan the things and get a sense of the story and characters, whether they're likely to resonate. That's fine. Useful.
However, "blah blah blah berets blah blah blah tweed elbow patches blah blah artistic merit blah blah blah want to see my etchings"?
Sod that. Boring and annoying and pompous as all hell. Who died and appointed him arbiter of art?

Thanks for the heads-up, erika--I'll take a look at it.

In what I think qualifies as hitting an old-school Regency writer trifecta, I've been assigned to meet Mary Balogh at the airport for our writers conference next month.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!
(Sure, I think her quality's gone down in the last few years, and that there's been a lot of phoning-it-in, but DUUUUUUUUUUUDE! Mary Effin' Balogh!)
Susan, that is way cool.

She's our keynote speaker, and it's still not too late to register....

Because books.
That is cool, Susan. Trifecta indeed.
I've always wanted to go to Emerald City. I got invited once when I was working, and it conflicted with something else, so I had to say no.

Alas, I am strapped for both time and cash, but it sounds like it will be excellent!
