As we say in England – spiffing!

Comment on Under Construction by Austin S. Camacho

I’ve never understood the drive to write a negative review. Assuming that every author does his best, why tell everyone he or she failed. That’s like announcing to the room that his fly is open.

And it’s not really a review unless the reader tells me WHY he loved or hated a particular story. Maybe I like exactly what put the reviewer off, or vice versa.

Honesty is only sometimes the best policy. Shading the truth is a very important part of social interaction and outright lying has its place too. Lying to law enforcement personnel might not be warranted though.

And besides, all fiction is lying so where would we (and especially you) be without that?

Kevin Johnson has a great voice. I went to his Greatest Hits page but unfortunately it isn't available as a MP3 yet so I might get Sunday Driver since it is.

Comment on Beany Malone (Most Will Opt Out) by Maria

I first read the Beany Malone books almost 30 years ago. Recently! I decided to retread the series because I’ve always remembered Beany fondly…and I guess I’m going through a “midlife” crisis. I am pleased to discover that the books are still very interesting. I can’t wait until my niece is old enough to be introduced to Beany.

I have always admired Ashley Judd. Now, even more. Thanks for supplying the link to her essay. I believe I suffer the effects of patriarchy — I have always worried about the things I see in the mirror.

Anyways, love your books. Currently re-reading most of them.

Having maintained residences in two cities (Denver and Birmingham, AL) at the same time, I can totally understand what you write. Now, I only live in only one and I do sometimes miss the contrast of lifestyle.

I would rather an author take their time and give me something good. So while I really want more Tess mysteries I am okay with waiting. I would rather that then you publish one every 6 months. When authors do publish that quickly their novels lose a bit of their heart.

I still have one big problem with your books; you cannot write them as fast as I can read them!

I know what you mean Laura. For 35 years I lived in Upstate New York and was a die-hard Northeasterner. I have lived in Virginia for 16 years and have embraced the Southern culture much to my family’s amazement. This Yankee even lets the occasional “Ya’ll” slip out! Still, I always think of Utica as home and yearn for tomato pie and greens!
