Regina Shelley (reginas) | 135 comments Before anyone gets too invested in this, please realize that it's spam.

Yep, the continuation of another spam thread.

Martyn Halm (amsterdamassassinseries) | 915 comments A.K., can you at least stop SHOUTING? We don't need your megaphone.

So you signed with Donald Maass more than a year ago. That's not the kind of news you have to be SHOUTING about, especially since you still don't seem to be trade published.

Justin (justinbienvenue) | 2274 comments What happened? Did you bully the poor guy and scare him away? O.o


message 5: by Regina (new)

Regina Shelley (reginas) | 135 comments He got his thread deleted for spamming.

Justin (justinbienvenue) | 2274 comments Ah, I see.


message 7: by Regina (new)

Regina Shelley (reginas) | 135 comments This ain't our first rodeo with this guy. We'd had enough before this thread even got posted. So....yeah. We didn't just randomly leap at his throat. ;-)


message 8: by Martyn (new)

Martyn Halm (amsterdamassassinseries) | 915 comments I guess I wasn't only one annoyed enough to flag him.


message 9: by R.F.G. (new)

R.F.G. Cameron | 443 comments He had sixteen threads by the same title

I'd give him a 100 for enthusiasm, and a zero for style.

Martyn Halm (amsterdamassassinseries) | 915 comments A fine method of getting yourself booted from GoodReads.

Regina Shelley (reginas) | 135 comments 16?!Good grief! I knew he had at least five, but damn!

Yeah, kind of surprised me.

Then again persistence isn't always a good thing.

Martyn Halm (amsterdamassassinseries) | 915 comments Some people think that it doesn't matter what people say about you, as long as they're talking about you. Alas, that's not how it works with authors. If you spam or argue with reviewers or stalk book bloggers, it will become known, and you'll lose whatever audience you had.

True enough.

Time for me to attend to my 14 month old 'audience', as She's throwing stuff at me. Tiny Demon has a good throwing arm for her age.


message 16: by Regina (new)

Regina Shelley (reginas) | 135 comments Aw! :-)))


message 17: by R.F.G. (new)

R.F.G. Cameron | 443 comments At 14 months she's closing on three feet tall and strong -- she threw a six pound medicine ball at me earlier.


message 18: by Regina (new)

Regina Shelley (reginas) | 135 comments Good grief! That's a big kid!


message 19: by R.F.G. (new)

R.F.G. Cameron | 443 comments Yes she is -- Her Grace has the genetics for tall on both sides so I expect she'll be patting the top of my head by age 12 years.


message 20: by Martyn (new)

Martyn Halm (amsterdamassassinseries) | 915 comments My brother called his son Timo. I asked if it was an abbreviation, he told me it was an acronym for This Infant Must Obey.

Things didn't work out as he planned... Still, Timo is a good kid.

My daughter wanted me to be a king. I asked her why. She told me she'd be a princess. And when she was old enough, she'd usurp my throne and... I told her I was quite satisfied with my station in life.

If the Netherlands ever become a dictatorship, I don't know whether I will bask in the opulence she'll shower on me, or whether I will have to flee for my life...

R.F.G. Cameron | 443 comments The wee ones are a trip. Her Grace, the Tiny Demon Warrior Princess has a way of capturing hearts wherever she goes. People may give her old broken warrior wary looks, till She walks over to bestow a smile and some unintelligible benediction; perhaps conferring a title of lands, we don't know.

I already know what will happen when Her Grace conquers the known universe, I will eventually be punished severely for having had the temerity to get old and die.
