Thank you for the wonderful review of these books. I will send you mine and have you give me your thoughts. I value the insightful comments of other writers. We Fanstory members have much to offer each other. I hope you wrote the foreword or something for these books. It made me want to order.
Sending you my best today as always

    I would love to read and review one (or more) of your books. You can send me a copy, or I can purchase one.

    No, I didn?t write a comment for their books, but I have before for other authors, and have had some on my published books.

This non-fiction speaks about the reviews of the books written and published by Fanstorians; all the book reviews are so hearty, eloquent and real in words with hearty appreciation of the books and praise of the writers; please check out some errors and typos I have found, also two from your bio-note; well said; thanks for sharing this. ALCREATOR


Errors/inexpressiveness and typos:

I grew up listening to my father, Paul Shannon, tell stories to me and my sister. (I do not understand this sentence; there is a grammatical error in expression.)

1. a published author of 6 Scienc - (Science)

2. A great book that leaves you feeling warm inside. (This is an incomplete sentence)

3. ...her question, and Jesus's answer, (grammatically wrong, Jesus's means Jesus is or Jesus has in contraction and not in possessive (possessive pronoun) as you have meant here)

4. The make you wonder while toing with the line between real and fantasy. (I don't understand the word - toing, I could not find the word in a dictionary)

5. ...each one an adventure of its own. (this is not a complete sentence; you wish to mean it like: each one is an adventure of its own)

6. ...same story over and over in a different way, Spice has a way (wrong use of comma instead of a full stop or period)

    Thank you for your careful review. I will make corrections, though the word science is complete if you?ll look on read more.

They all sound good, Rhonda, and I'm glad you think so highly of them you spoke up; I notice, however, that my novel "Not The Woodshed, Daddy!" appears nowhere on this list!

    I didn't know you had one! I'll look it up and post the review on Amazon and here.
reply by Mike Stevens on 26-Sep-2020
    Just kidding, Rhonda, I've written only one novel, I don't do much more than 'The End' anymore
reply by the author on 26-Sep-2020
    I figured you were, but just in case... Did you publish your novel?
reply by Mike Stevens on 26-Sep-2020
    No, because one, I'm afraid to send it out, what if I'm told I suck as a writer, my ego's fragile,(not really) and secondly, I can't make much or I lose my disability payments
reply by the author on 26-Sep-2020
    When you do self publishing, you can just keep the copies for you and family.
reply by Mike Stevens on 26-Sep-2020
    I didn't think about that, it's worth considering

There have many fine books posted by talented writers here on FanStory and I'm sure there will be many more to come. I have quite a few in my book cases. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you for the wonderful review. I'm sure we all have collections from our fellow writers, and I try to give them their due on the site when I can. I'm glad you have some as well.

-Very nice photo, Rhonda,
and a big surprise, too.
-How thoughtful to mention
Fanstorians who have published.
-Each review is so well written
and I know it comes from your heart,
and reading each one meant
something to you.
-It really means a lot, and you
brightened the day of many of
us who have been struggling
with different issues, like so
many people everywhere.
-I can't say enough good things
about your reviews, and sharing
what you enjoyed from people
who make up this great community

    Awww, Pam, thank you! I love reading work from my friends. I have a special place on my bookshelf for people I know.
    On a side note, my mother-in-law loves both of your books!! She was like, "These aren't just for kids. I'm learning stuff." hehe, she's so sweet.
reply by Pam (respa) on 26-Sep-2020
    You are very welcome, Rhonda. Thanks for sharing about Mildred. Tell her I do a lot of research for these books. All of us enjoy animals in our family. Then I write these with my inner child voice. Also tell her I am very pleased she enjoyed the books. What is her favorite animal and maybe I will write a story for her.
reply by the author on 26-Sep-2020
    I just asked her and she said for tame animals, she likes cats, and for wild animals, she likes sloths. She had a big smile on her face when I told her your plans, hehe.
reply by Pam (respa) on 26-Sep-2020
    Uh, oh. I am obligated now, although I do have a story about a cat that I haven't posted. Don't say anything and I will let you know when I do:) I think I would have a hard time with a sloth, but maybe I could write a poem. Don't tell her that, either:)
reply by the author on 26-Sep-2020
    She would love anything you wrote her, even if you just send it in an email.
reply by Pam (respa) on 26-Sep-2020
    Okay. I will post the cat story, and I started the first section of the sloth. It will be a while before I post, though.
reply by the author on 26-Sep-2020
    That?s okay, it will give Mildred something to look forward to. Thank you.

    You are welcome.

Lovely reviews of five books, two by the same author. You have inspired me to take a look at Joyce Williams Graves books - they sound interesting and like my cup of tea! Thank you.

    You are quite welcome, Susan. I've gotten so far behind in posting the reviews that I decided to do them all at once. You'll love Joyce. She's a sweetheart!
