Success With Fanstory

Hi
I gave a six because of the encouraging tone of this wee post. I don't usually 'mark' by content, who am I to agree or disagree. Normally I review on clarity, SPAG, so this would get a six for that as well:-)
I am back after leaving for a while. I was frustrated with many of the reviews I was getting. There was very little in line with SPAG or clarity, and an awful lot about content, whether what I was writing was true, or actually being 'tesified' to by those who don't share my faith. It's not that I mind being prayed for or hearing the word of Jesus, only that it shouldn't come into the ratings...
I think that it is mostly a problem on the poetry side. I did find that the prose were reviewed with a more open feeling as to content.
So...your post comes at a good time. I was just about to say 'enough' once more.
I will try again for a few months.
Thanks again and may you continue on your success as a writer.

Thank you for this encouraging post. I've been away awhile and I'm trying to get back in touch with my muse who seems to be eluding me. I remember reading some of your posts before and thoroughly enjoyed them.

I'm only only a week old in Fanstory Land and am gratified to hear such a
terrific success story, especially one so rife with praise and thanks to your fellow denizens. I am particularly impressed to learn of 22 for 22 five-star real-world reviews. Kudos! LIZ

Hello Elizabeth. Thank you for your review and welcome a board Fanstory. I wish you the best. : ) Bob
ps. Just wondering? why did you only give the post four stars?
Comment from Liz O'Neill
What a lovely tribute to FanStory and all involved. This account carries much example of hope for those just beginning their journey of the ups and downs, hopes and disappointments, discouragement and encouragement. You have worked hard for the successes you have experienced and well deserve them.

Ahhh. Thanks so much Liz, my friend. How is your book coming? sorry, I have been away for a ime. : ) Bob

pardon the religious allusion...but basically it is in limbo as far as any significant progress. I'm just waiting for the miracle... but have let it go. I'm just enjoying writing.

Comment from Ava Wilson
I am giving you six stars for this one because it spoke straight to my soul. Congratulations on all your successes you've had and for reminding me not to give up. You have been an inspiration to me since I first joined this site and you continue to inspire me with every helpful review I've received from you. Please never stop writing and encouraging others to follow their dreams. I will be purchasing one of your books and would love to know which one you would recommend for me to read first.

Aww. Thanks so much, my friend, Ava. I am signing (with inscribed personal dedications) any and all of my books. In the detective series I would say the latest one is the best bet. (my personal favorite) "Shadows of Sin"
On the other hand "Falling Up the Stairs " is the most popular nd is in the process of a screen play being done for it. (See under my pen name R. C. Hartson on Amazon for the reviews on it.
Unfortunately however, I have no more copies of this one right now. You could order it from Amazon but of course it wouldn't be signed that way.
Let me know your interest and I will PM the corresponding info. Bless you Ava. Bob

I definitely want a signed copy so I would love to purchase ?Shadows of Sin?
I will probably buy the Falling Up the Stairs on Amazon. I looked at the synopsis and the reviews and certainly would love to read it too.
