Picks and Pans

I've reviewed many posts on Amazon.com and I appreciate the comments, along with happy there's fewer complaints over editing since I've gone through the series again.
I appreciate any reviews on Amazon.

Firenze Game...a series of Game, Set, Match will be out soon with all sorts of chaos in Matt and Gil's life, not the least being the arrival of Jack for the summer.

I also appreciate all the nice emails you continue to send....
It had been interesting since I didn't get my first one until about my sixth or seventh book, so I had no clue if you liked what I was writing......so I appreciate the comments.

It's a bit of drama/skullduggery/comedy/humor/erotica/relationships and maybe a few other things and I'm happy to hear its struck a responsive chord.
Well back to finishing up Firenze Game since I've already got scenes for Firenze Set dancing in my head!

Kudos and Critiques

I'm receiving an increasing amount of email to robbass.fraternity@gmail.com, which rocks since I like hearing what you have to say.
 

CRITIQUES --- In the early days, I was definitely getting pounded on the editing. The feedback was consistent that you loved the story....but the misspellings/occasional poor sentence structure was distracting.

----The books are self-edited. Hey it keeps the price down! However I've gone back through the series and corrected many of the more offending errors. Sorry about that guys.

So if you were to re-download from a couple years ago, you'd see the better editing.

CRITIQUE --- Repeating what's gone on before...causing the story to drag.

Again my apologies. The Fraternity Series is approaching two dozen books along with dozens of characters and my intent is finding the right balance of keeping the story moving but also not having you scratching your head trying to recall the past.

I've scanned through the books you've said are the worst and revamped some areas.
 

KUDOS --- YOU REALLY LIKE  the story...I'm glad.

 

I enjoy reading emails from you guys where you discuss what you liked about a new book and speculating whats going to happen in the next book, since by the time you write I'm already half way through with the plot laid out. Oftentimes you get close but so far there have been twists leaving you wanting more.

 

One of the more interesting feedbacks has been around the death of a character.

I received a huge amount of emails after Losing the Hardway disappointed Chris was no more however I got some really touching comments around how the story came out.

Thank you for those thoughts.

 

By far the greatest volume of emails was how upset people were over everyone's favorite plump pooch Bell being shot in Stone Trials. Yeah you weren't too happy with me then.

 

I'm often asked how many more books.

Uh...the honest question is I don't know since the original vision did have Gil and Matt together in Firenze however when Isla Paradiso was being written I envisioned maybe a dozen books at most.

However like you, I've become enamored with mute Jaimey, the bro's Trent and Rick, the machinations of evil do'ers like Bathwaite, Dusan and the latest duo Conner and Jackson.....and of course Gil Walker and Matt as they try to make a life through all the craziness that seems to always crop up around them.

 

Take care and thanks for all your feedback, both picks and pans.....you've made me a better story teller because of it.
