A reminder that good things come to those who wait...

Billy recently praised the lovely Marie's book, "Gods Behaving Badly" which, if you haven't already read it should be on your 'to buy and read' list!

[PS the link on Marie is to her new open blog rather than Struggling Author which is members only].

Hi Lisa
Do you read crime fiction?

Lisa Rullsenberg said...

Well, yes Leigh. Nice of you to ask...

Anyone with a members' only site should be boycotted in my humble opinion! And I rather enjoyed the Private Eye review of that book, very funny (the review, I mean).

Hi Reidski, you stirrer!
Nah, boycotting member-only sites is daft (not least because you can't boycott something you can't see!) I also don't blame marie for making her site member only once the book was due out to avoid vistors reading more into what she had previously written than it deserved (besides, it makes all those hilarious previous exchanges much more fun to have been part of). Now she has the open site too she gets to have her cake and eat it: not a bad situation really.

Didn't see the PE review but have read some of the subsequent letter exchange mutterings in its pages...

Wow, that's a bit harsh, Reidski. I made my blog private because I was getting some really creepy e-mails. Since I made it private the e-mails have stopped completely. Please tell me what's wrong with wanting to protect my personal safety.

"boycotting member-only sites is daft (not least because you can't boycott something you can't see!)" - point taken, aren't I stupid?

"Please tell me what's wrong with wanting to protect my personal safety" - nothing wrong with that whatsoever! Half the things I write I don't believe and the other half is simply made up!

Marie said...

That's OK Reidski. And feel free to boycott my book if you like, but if you could send me a quid in lieu of royalties that would be much appreciated, ta! ;-)

50p?

You're a very cheeky boy Reidski! But we loves ya.
