I try with a new writer not to know much, preferably nothing, until after I have read them. I can distract myself from just evaluating the writing if I have information about the author.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-62675596638365457692014-01-21T04:18:48.158+00:002014-01-21T04:18:48.158+00:00Oooh........my male intuition is kicking in..........Oooh........my male intuition is kicking in......."Not like people who buy them all before they've read one"...... is someone having a pop?

What was I thinking of? Until you suggested it I hadn't thought of reading the next one, I haven't got sufficient series-awareness. Not like people who buy them all before they've read one. But that is a good idea, I should look it up.Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-44616630807728372312014-01-20T23:14:35.325+00:002014-01-20T23:14:35.325+00:00I would love to read a post on that topic.

SO well done in my opinion. And it's interesting how some people (fictional characters too) can have such perceptiveness even if they are, as you put it, deluded. I ought to do a blog post about that; there are plenty of people like that in crime fiction. Hmmm...... as always you inspire me. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
