I love to learn when I read fiction and I especially loved learning all the 'slang' words in your latest book.

I've read books with inaccurate information and at that point I didn't want to read any further. I actually pointed one out to the author who was a friend, or I should say a former friend. Authors can be very touchy about their novels. Needless to say, the author didn't bother to fix it. Too bad, because it could have been a great novel.Evelyn Cullethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00042981370607083281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7380039642783211730.post-46775748529060486942020-11-03T09:56:34.781-08:002020-11-03T09:56:34.781-08:00Thank you, Madeline!
