Hello Jennifer Coissiere,
first and foremost, I want to thank you for opening this forum so that we communicate with each other.
Jennifer, you seem to speculate on whether you are too cold of a critic or not. Well, let me be the first to tell you, that you are not exactly the Grinch who stole Christmas.
You did in fact give both of my books, Rhymes Of The Times, and Shedding Light, 3 star reviews on amazon.com ... needless do I have to say that you conceded that you agree with mostly everything that I said in Rhymes Of The Times. And you did recommend Shedding Light to parents who are raising teenagers.
Jennifer, you gave recommendations for both of my books. I have noticed from reading some of your reviews, that you do not give recommendations to every book that you review.
However, I had to get your reviews off of my amazon.com promotional page because some of the comments that you made interferes with official business. Although that may not have been the purpose for some of those comments; and you explained in your ramblings that some comments that you make are to distinguish your reviews, and to prevent plagiarism ... the problem is that some readers will not take it that way. So, it is important that one look out for their own best interest.
Nevertheless, I am doing okay. As a matter of fact, I just recently put the finishing touches on my new book "Much Props" and it should be published around February, or March of 2009. If you send me a post office address or something, I will be glad to send you a copy of it. I really can't wait for Apex Reviews, Genevieve Wilson, and Wendy Paulson to get their hands on this book, because they really love my style of poetry.
I must be honest, there are times Jennifer, that I try to wish you away, and hope that you get out of my hair. But on the other hand, you have become that critic that I have learned to love.
May God bless you and yours,
Harold Matthew Nash
