You've chosen some nasty nouns and adjectives to describe Paul. <br /><br />A few more come to my mind when I read your "anonymous" post: cowardly being right up there at the top of the list. Only it's not Paul I'm thinking of.<br /><br />Raymond GrahamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400574.post-9580886132022850302014-10-25T13:58:59.198-07:002014-10-25T13:58:59.198-07:00DEAD ENDS: BC CRIME STORIES is the perfect example...DEAD ENDS: BC CRIME STORIES is the perfect example of everything that's wrong with publishing in today's world. Anyone with the notion--talent or not--can write a "book", then contact a place like the University of Regina Press ("publisher" of this fine volume), and unleash this mess on an unsuspecting world. And then we wonder why no one reads anymore. Why should they? If this is the kind of stuff they're being subjected to.<br /><br />Used to be a real writer had to learn to WRITE before they could get published. Now, all you need is a couple thousand dollars and you got yourself a book. Talent? Who needs it? Skill? What for? Learning to write? Are you kidding me? Forget about it, I've got this here manuscript and an address I can get it printed, I'mma be one of dem novelists. Riches, here I comes!!!<br /><br />It's enough to make aspiring writers want to give up seeking legitimate publishing venues. Please don't. Just be sure to write better than this guy. God knows it won't be difficult.<br /><br />When you strip Paul Willcocks down, pun intended, you find nothing more than a phony. What makes him so great is a mystery to me. This man is a fraud, a cheap and lousy opportunist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400574.post-28513396641013138092014-10-17T16:25:28.273-07:002014-10-17T16:25:28.273-07:00Sorry to have missed the launch yesterday...we'...Sorry to have missed the launch yesterday...we're off for a few days being buffeted by the winds and waves in Tofino.<br />I'll pick up a copy once we're back in town.<br />All the best.James Kingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400574.post-15126177743594710762014-10-15T12:45:10.694-07:002014-10-15T12:45:10.694-07:00Hello Anon 12:22;
