I've stopped reading the crap historical novel I was given by my loved and adored friend. It is really really boring. Well written - no question about the technique but I am bored! bored! bored!
Hubby said: read the ending to find out what happens. I did. Okay. Boring.
Sorry but beautiful cover and first time author but I have better things to do during my holiday than read boring fiction.
So, I'm off to pick up some Anita Shreve.
And, spend some time writing.
What I don't get is how something as BORING as this book gets published.

Been there and done that myself! Bought a book thinking it would be great and ....
It does make you wonder sometimes, doesn't it?
As for the UK and US not taking up your book: it must be so frustrating.
Hope you find a really good book to lose yourself in and good luck with the writing.
Yeah, Anita Shreve any day!
BTW, HAPPY NEW YEAR! I've enjoyed reading your posts very much and look forward to many more. :)
Thanks guys. I have enjoyed popping over to read your blogs too. It is so heartening to have the support of other writers. Just knowing that we are not alone in our struggles.
