novella is an erotic romance and delivers on both counts - it is quite romantic
and is full of some hot bed play." Marina, Cupid's Library Reviews for Revealing

a lesson in love and acceptance. It is an experience not to be missed."

Ebay recently made some changes to their feedback policy. Soon, seller's won't be able to leave negative feedback for buyers. As someone who sells, and has gotten the occasional nonpaying bidder, I must confess, I was a bit stunned by these changes. How could I warn others about a non-paying bidder? How could I get the word out that this person is a deadbeat? But then I got to thinking, there is a process in place. Ebay does provide non-paying bidder strikes and does take dicisplinary actions against npb's (as they're called). I just have to trust that the process works. A similar line of thought happens for book reviews. My mother taught me that if I couldn't say anything nice, then not to say anything at all. And, I've tried to follow that policy when it comes to book reviews. When I read a book it stands, or falls, on its own merits. If I've liked the author before, I may give them the benefit of the doubt, but if a book dissapoints me, it does so because of the content of that book. It just may hurt more if it's an author I've loved in the past. And I still may go on to try the next book. I suppose ebay's system is like that. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. And though I'm a bit concerned that some will abuse the system, frankly, I also have to trust in the process. And it's trusting in the process that's a large part of writing. |
