In for pen, in for a pounding.

Probably was a bad idea to write to a reviewer of my book I stumbled across on the web.

But she did have a few good points so I thought,well what the hell in for a penny on for a pound lets send aan email, I doubt I will get a response and I am not really looking for one.

I just felt like it.

I will probably get yelled at again or at least a stern email of the ‘leave it to the publicity and pr department’ variety buy my agent at least but this is how it went.

Just stumbled across your site and review of my book, http://www.itsallwrite.net/aspbite/categories/index.asp?intCatID=1089
Hummm. Well have to put a hands up on that one, you have it and me pegged right. ‘Badly written’ yes your probably right...for a start English was never my best subject and it’s not like its how I make my living.
I will fully confess I wasn’t out to write or have published a great literary feat, I am not a writer after all. I just had a story to tell to win a bet. I personally never thought it would get published or even really pushed it to make it sound ‘scintillating’, but you must know what its like when a big publisher gets hold of something and then to them its a product, not a book.
They only wanted to fill a cheap beach throw away read slot, so that’s what it ended up being. Like much in this world today something to pimp and make money off the back of. After agents, editors, publisher and publicity chopped and pulled it around, I am not surprised myself at reactions I have received, you either love it or like you, hated it ...to people that can write like yourself, it must have been full of holes I can see that.

As for being boring, as it is not a novel and is my real life I wasn’t going to start lying and dramatise it like I was being pushed to.

Maybe it would have made better more interesting reading if I had, maybe if I had been beaten, raped or gained a drug habit from becoming a whore I would be a more interesting subject for people.

I didn’t want to start extravagating like other working girls have done in the past and start giving the impression it is all glam or just all misery in the sex industry. I am an average working girl like many I know, if that makes me boring then I am probably a boring old fart. Now even I am surprised that after 10 years of being a working girl my clients are not board to tears and see me again after meeting me, but saying that ...they aren’t in my bed to read books.
It was short yes and there was a lot more written but lots of it was cut to make it a ‘saleable size’ at least you where saved the time in not having to read all that. Bless

Sorry cant Spare You I am afraid ..under contract for book 2,(yes your probably moaning and berating the fact that why people that jolly well cant write, get published)
Also the second is filled with more condoms and safer sex stuff... very glad to know putting a rubber on made you yawn. I wish more people knew how and got bored so easily because its something they already know how to do well. You said yuck to sucking rubber, I just can’t help but think maybe your sucking the wrong ones though? but good on you that you have the security of a tested partner that your health doesn’t have to rely on that sort of thing. That kind of man is hard to find.

Its scary how may women out there don’t know how or just don’t use one!

There, think I got the hang of these exclamations marks now you’ll be happy to know..that’s if the copy editors don’t fill dam book2 with them again...but just in case... better stay well clear of ‘Extra Confessions’ then.(Yes crap title but I didn’t get a say)
Glad you don’t want to emulate me darlin...you might just put me out of a job,

Whorethouress of a doorstop, Miss S

Hoo hum..I I could be wrong but I will either get a toasting reply or ignored (and no I am not going to blog it )

...at least some one likes me though!

looks like contracts with a US publisher to publish the first book is well under way.

If you are good might let you see what they have done different for the US front cover. Something tells me I think I am going to like Source Books
