Today, I received a review from another author. He is in a group I am in but we are not friends. He did not pay for my book but I sent him a copy of my pdf file to him. I never claimed to be perfect but I thought my book was better than my first which had spelling mistakes I missed and bad formatting caused by the publisher. Before this review, 4 other people reviewed it.
The Past Hunter is my first Christian Romance. I only found one mistake but he pointed out more than one. He said that the book should not be published. I am sorry he felt that way and I am glad I never got a hold of his book to review.
I write because it is a way of escape for me. I know I am not perfect and that is why I asked someone to proofread it before I published it. My next book is in the process of being edited so let's see if people like him will say something like that again.
I know there are authors out there who may be called to write, but I am called to teach. I thank you for being honest, but tell me that my book should not be published is an insult. If God gave you a talent and someone came up to you and said "You shouldn't have that talent" How would you feel? My gut feeling tells me by his review he doesn't know God at all. The only thing positive he said is "Great message"
