My multipart series chronicles the ups and downs of an ordinary person striving to becoming a novelist in the real world. The series will span more than five decades.
It's so easy, as I see, to ruin the literary career that even to read about it -very sad. But morally, you are the winner; you continue writing, and it brings you satisfaction, I want to believe. And I am very interested in your journey of literary production
Sorry to hear that. I do read the 'bad' review before buying a product to gain perspective (especially as some companies pay people to write 5 star reviews). If a 'bad' review has a legitimate concern, I'll take note. Most times though, it's a rant and I can ignore it.
It's hard to get reviews now, so well done on getting lots.
You have to have arrived at a certain stage in your career to experience such things. Consider it as a level of achievement. Any press is good press. He spelled your name right. : )
The number of reviews are far more important than the reviews. Hundreds and hopefully thousands of written reviews will bury the occasional hater, and indicate to buyers the book deserves attention.

Thank you!
Thanks for sharing, Jim.

Ha! Yes. In retrospect, it might have been better to put up a fight. But probably not.
I still don't like that lone wolf, to this day. They hurt a good man who puts his all into what he writes.
That's definitely true now. Back then, though, "top reviewers" carried some weight.
