On reading my latest novel....
The decision to order my latest novel from Amazon.com was not a difficult one. I usually look for five star novels and after reading one or two random pages and a few comments, I make my decision.
I was looking for new reading materials after a very satisfying reading of “The Cartel” by Ashley & JaQuavis and wanted to read another good book quick and in a hurry!
So it was this five star book, “Murder on the Gold Coast” by Barbara Fleming, did I read these three curtain opening sentences:
Once upon a time, I read a reader divulging if he does not hear the authors’ voice in the first three pages of a book, he does not invest further reading time. For me, it took three sentences! That was enough for me! I immediately ordered the book and it arrived a few days later, further grabbing my attention and presently turning me every which way but lose!
At first, I was intimidated by the multiple characters at the beginning of the story but the skillful writing of the author, by constantly identifying them by both first and last names, made reading easier. Also, most people who write know in spite of everything humanly possible, grammatical errors occur.
Somehow, the occasional grammatical errors in this novel by Barbara Fleming do not bother me. Ms. Fleming has something to say and is saying it well. I would always tell students in my music classes you do not need the biggest and most expensive stereo equipment to recognize a good performance when you hear one and then I would go on telling them of my enjoyable music experiences listening to music on my crystal radio and on 78 records.
As always,
BB
P.S. I was never a fast reader of books. But of late, my speed is increasing and I do not know if it is a blessing or a curse. (Smile)

“Answer me! Who’s out there?” The silence was both ominous and confusing because he knew someone had entered the house.
