I hope my having an educational background doesn't mean that I must forever more write an 'issue' novel. That said, I do write about things that I am passionate about and that does sometimes result in my dealing with issues. Sounds like anonymous male writer was being a bit sexist to me!Judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14121286194338647357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691484047788634396.post-18108300880552740102010-04-01T10:05:50.934+01:002010-04-01T10:05:50.934+01:00LOL, Keren!
@Kathy: the irony of that person'...LOL, Keren! <br /><br />@Kathy: the irony of that person's remark is that I'm satirizing the fashion industry in Silk Sisters!<br /><br />@bookwitch: it's OK, I didn't think it was deliberate! Hey, we all have our off days. Not giving away that name.<br /><br />@Candy: Thank you! Amanda Craig says the same thing – among others. I'm not trying to diss my publishers; they have hired some top-notch artists and designers, and they rightly recognise that my work is 'commercial'. And as I have said before, I probably was asking for trouble, putting the WORD 'pink' in one of my titles! But misconceptions abound.fionadunbarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14774780945853573692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691484047788634396.post-82394325698151333052010-03-31T22:34:30.994+01:002010-03-31T22:34:30.994+01:00terrific idea for a blog post - very creative, fio...terrific idea for a blog post - very creative, fiona. and folks, it's true - the pinky covers do lead expectations the wrong way. fiona's books are smart and have a lot to say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691484047788634396.post-49606440428761098072010-03-31T17:57:37.321+01:002010-03-31T17:57:37.321+01:00And here I thought you looked good...
