There are some creative people who are already afraid to step out of the box and when heavily criticized this shuts them down. Even when they are clearly good writers. I didn't know your book was controversal. I loved it. Kept me reading it...It mirrors life and we know that stuff is happening somewhere...why not explore it?Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13037132101026488589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10131148.post-1125012400500160012005-08-25T16:26:00.000-07:002005-08-25T16:26:00.000-07:00Darni, you HAVE to ask your daughter what she's he...Darni, you HAVE to ask your daughter what she's heard, why is my book considered controversial. This trips me out everytime I hear something like that. It cracks me up and I wonder what is going on out there. :) Please write me off-loop. And thanks for reading the book and giving feedback!!CydneyRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09424162638825258002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10131148.post-1125010595070580202005-08-25T15:56:00.000-07:002005-08-25T15:56:00.000-07:00I read your novel in a day.

That and the flooded car scene were definitely my favorites (kinda like God's trying to tell you somethng). When I brought it home my daughter looked and gasped: "Mom! That's that controversial book!" I didn't know there was a controversy, just got it because I was intrigued. I also read The Vixen book as well as a few of the reviews. I thought the reviews were more attacks on her personally rather than on the book the plot etc.Darnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00408245718290111269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10131148.post-1124502030839504432005-08-19T18:40:00.000-07:002005-08-19T18:40:00.000-07:00Daashar:Thanks for posting your comments, and for ...Daashar:<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting your comments, and for reading my book.

For example, your book Cydney, My Daughter's Boyfriend, had been on my reading list for over a year, but because of a couple of so-so reviews, it took me awhile to read it. And when I did, I thought it was very good. I'm kicking myself for not reading it sooner... <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I just read a book (which I won't mention here) that got rave reviews. Oh, it was suppose to be the best thing in the world! And I found it to be just alright. To be truthful, I didn't like it that much. <BR/><BR/>So the bottom line is: to each his own. What I may like, you may not like, and vice-versa.<BR/><BR/>And Cydney, don't let the haters get to you. Keep doing the darn thing! You got a true fan here, homegirl! <BR/><BR/>Ladylee!!LadyLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14895667783148669410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10131148.post-1124448378428323562005-08-19T03:46:00.000-07:002005-08-19T03:46:00.000-07:00nothegame,to be honest, i don't know how to link p...nothegame,<BR/><BR/>to be honest, i don't know how to link people to my blog. i've seen other blogs that include those links on the side, but me have no idea how they get it there.CydneyRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09424162638825258002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10131148.post-1124413628624536832005-08-18T18:07:00.000-07:002005-08-18T18:07:00.000-07:00Bad review = negative review.Also, you're welcome ...Bad review = negative review.<BR/><BR/>Also, you're welcome to post on this blog, but please don't post anonymously.

A bad review, in my opinion, is one that gives away the ending or too much of the plot, or one that basically restates what's on the inside front flap, or one doesn't state why a book was good or bad for the reviewer. A review, either good or bad, can persuade one to read, or not read a book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10131148.post-1124388613043848612005-08-18T11:10:00.000-07:002005-08-18T11:10:00.000-07:00Rax you sound an ineresting , thoughtful person.
