It's what I do. Don't take too seriously criticisms from one who is so ignorant of your field. I meant what I said: I like the way you write. Excellence in writing is such a pleasure I'm happy to recognize it wherever I see it.</p> <p>I could go on and on about the problems of managing a reasonably peaceful coexistence with Florida's wildlife, but I'll save that for another time. :)</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/1219/43102017-08-30T00:39:09ZGrace Kone<p>Linda, I'm totally stunned that you would take the time to write a review of SHADOWED PARADISE. Thank you! I shall cherish the good and accept the criticism as romance is not your cup of tea. But I'd like to point out that two children and innumerable dogs were killed by alligators during the 25 years I lived on Florida's West Coast, and my son &amp; friends used to dive in the spot in the book, daring the alligators to come get them. As mentioned, a great deal of the book is based on actual happenings. Including the huge spiders, which roamed my house at will! But thank you, thank you again, for reading a genre you don't like and for making the effort to write a review. It's truly appreciated! Grace, who writes as Blair Bancroft</p>
