In reply to Kristina Riggle. EXACTLY, Kristina. Your example belongs on the Eye-Roll Reviews list. I've gotten that one, too: "Nobody would do that. One Star."

Oh don’t get me started! There seems to be an affliction striking some reviewers, which causes them to believe if a character doesn’t do exactly everything they would do in all circumstances and the book doesn’t line up perfectly with the world as they experience it…obviously this is the author’s failing. Boo. One star.

Sigh.

I also love your books, Jill, and I am so sorry our society has turned to crowd-sourcing everything moved away from supporting professional book reviewers.

So good! Just as we were talking about recently – I’ve often found ratings, reviews and other evaluations to be unreliable, irrelevant and sadly, useless. And unfortunately, those submitting have virtually zero regard for the author, artist or service provider.

None of those icky reviews were mine. I sincerely enjoy your novels.
