    Lies and made up words.
    I see Ol Georgie still can't resist making adverbs out of verbs - or as Mark Twain put it, "The road to hell is paved with adverbs."

She had an excellent point in the long run: her stories are meant for a particular audience and she wants them to resonate with those people and get more reviews from them.  But that first line was just....horribly obnoxious. I say this from my POV of course. Not a white lady who writes reviews -- but as a review grubber.   Anyone who disses any reader (especially ones that give honest reviews) deserves to be cast into the pit of being ignored.   ...
