I ignore it, as I have no problem separating fact from fiction.greghttp://www.the3006cafe.org/Blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17595589.post-90412711090737763332013-03-26T18:22:56.518-05:002013-03-26T18:22:56.518-05:00Thanks, Greg.

That's one reason for the prevalence of "bonnet books" - it's safe, conservative (Amish! can't get much more conservative than that!), and although fiction, it's more realistic or historically grounded (supposedly, lol). Speculative writing, by its nature, broadens the boundaries of what is/can be and therefore isn't as "safe" for the reader. I try to write spec fic that is thematically engaging, but not necessarily religiously accurate. I don't want my art/craft to be a doctrinal statement, I want it to touch the reader. Wow, I went on and on. I should probably post these thoughts as a blog post, lol.Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11998346902027037420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17595589.post-33086954836554583122013-03-26T14:24:06.648-05:002013-03-26T14:24:06.648-05:00Well being a Christian myself who enjoys SciFi,(go...Well being a Christian myself who enjoys SciFi,(going to hell right?:) )I thoroughly enjoyed the context and content to your story. <br /><br />I'll always come to the defense of those who are doing the right thing.<br /><br />gm<br />greghttp://www.the3006cafe.org/Blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17595589.post-70862665242089857592013-03-26T08:40:30.893-05:002013-03-26T08:40:30.893-05:00Thanks, June.

I mentioned in my reply to your comment at Amazon that I wanted it to be a "stand alone" and yet compliment the original. I think I did okay based on comments like yours and will definitely continue the series to completion. :)Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11998346902027037420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17595589.post-49794216777283583122013-03-26T08:37:29.672-05:002013-03-26T08:37:29.672-05:00My review from Amazon:

But what Lyndon Perry did with this short story was superb. He didn't need to use much from the original to carry this tome. He chose a subject that Hugh Howey had not touched on, and did it very very well. Hooked from the third page, like I was with the original WOOL, I was left saying, more, there has to be more, and I sincerely hope there is.<br /><br />This story could 'stand alone' without the Hugh Howey original. I hope that Mr. Perry does follow this story line to completion. Again it is a wonderful complement to Mr. Howey's original, not really FanFic, but a story on it's own. Write on Mr. Perry!greghttp://www.the3006cafe.org/Blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17595589.post-80501097467907933982013-03-26T07:49:54.544-05:002013-03-26T07:49:54.544-05:00Congrats!!!Congrats!!!junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16597959014121851131noreply@blogger.com
