They really hate my book, and I'm so glad!

There is a brutally scathing put-down of my Gather First Chapters Romance entry at the Dear Author blog.

This is actually pretty cool.

Iâ€™ve always said, if they hate something enough to remark on it, then that means theyâ€™re paying attention! Attention is good â€“ far better than being ignored. Of course what they don't know at Dear Author is that I've been reading (and writing) the romance genre since 1980.

So now you can see Iâ€™m really not kidding when I say: Love it or hate it, just go and vote for it!Â Comment if you like! Thereâ€™s only 3 days left and Iâ€™m pedaling hard trying to catch up.

I agree. I refuse to enter anything anymore in this farse of a so called contest. I consider it rigged and a travesty on both readers and writers. A pox on them all.

It's really easy for people to criticize things they can't do. Keep up the good work!

Ha! I read the column and you're absolutely right- sometimes attention like that is pretty cool and it does get people to come over to Gather and take a look!

Trudy, someone named "Robin" posted a link to this page on the Dear Author blog you mention.
They must REALLY be getting interested now!
