The Prude and The Trollop

Occasionally, I come upon a review (there has been more than one) of The Unexpected Enlightenment of Rachel Griffin where the reader threw the book across the room and stopped reading at the scene in Chapter Four where crazy orphan boy Sigfried Smith encounters a young woman deliberately wearing too-tight clothing to flaunt her curves and uses the ( Read more... )

I like the word, and consider it a polite description! even better to find your characters cannot be judged by how they look! and even better I'll love to see it in print! When will the book with pages to turn version be ready for preorder?

Did I tell you about Tom's Cove last year? I can't recall if I told you the story of how Tom's Cove, Chincoteague, got its name.

Loved the first Rachel book, and the other two are on my Amazon list. Not sure what book those reviews were reading since I never got the impression that you, the writer, didn't like Salome. Oh well, people interpret things they read differently.

After reading this, clearly you like her. Lilly was dead before the first episode started, and Veronica spent the first season solving her best friend's murder. Salome makes it to the third book (at least)!

Thank you. Yeah. Salome is great fun. She has some mysteries, but she definitely takes the cake for bubbly.

If you haven't seen it, this is the most...dramatic...example of the kind of review I am referring to:

It's rather funny, really.

Oh wow, that review was something else. I actually laughed out loud twice from her valiant attempts at stoking the Fires of Outrage.

Yeah, it amuses me, too. ;-)

I think it's a young man. His name is Ian Woods, I believe.
