WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU DETTERLING?
'Granny Barkes Fell In Woolworth's' is available in bookshops and with online retailers. Just check it out on Amazon UK.
You are in denial and all readers of this blog can see that. You are stuffed and are making yourself more ridiculous by your denials.
If you wish to buy a copy of the book from Amazon and review it there is nothing stopping you - and you know it!

I am denying nothing. I checked this morning and the book is now accessible on Amazon - it wasn’t yesterday. I will order a copy of this ground-breaking novel next week.
ReplyDeleteYour crowing epitomises your outstanding unpleasantness.
I have not crowed about anything.
ReplyDeleteIt's very good news that you can access the book on Amazon.
Now about your review, please remember to be fair and honest.
A bad review in the early days of its publication can have disastrous consequences for a book.

Piss off.
ReplyDelete"Detterling, you have been well and truly stuffed".
Come off it.
"Now about your review, please remember to be fair and honest."
I thought I would use as a strapline your blurb to the effect that
"Gene Vincent is a novelist and essayist whose writing has drawn comparison with James Joyce, Evelyn Waugh and Ernest Hemingway."
Given that you have never published a novel or an essay, and hence have never been reviewed, these claims will be measured against the literary quality of "Granny Barkes fell in Woolworths", perhaps starting with the fact that you had to pay the publishers to see it in print.
Glad to see though, that the book can be returned within thirty days of purchase. It won't take me more than a couple of hours to read it and another couple to review it, so I will get my fiver back less than a week after I have spent it.

So which do you want, Gene? a fair review or a good one?
"...perhaps starting with the fact that you had to pay the publishers to see it in print."
ReplyDeleteI have never paid a penny to anyone to see it it print. More lies. Just like the lies you told that it hadn't been published and what had appeared about it on this blog was fake and a scam. Proven lies.
"Glad to see though, that the book can be returned within thirty days of purchase."
What a mean so-and-so!

“Solomon’s Portico”, “The Man who heard Jenny Lind sing”, “Heartbreak at Hillingdon High”, “The Psalms” - all of them non existent books you claim to have published.
ReplyDelete“Gene Vincent is a novelist and essayist whose writing has drawn comparisons with James Joyce, Evelyn Waugh and Ernest Hemingway”.
No, he isn’t and no it hasn’t - more preposterous bombast and ridiculous lies.
The “provenance” of Granny Barkes fell in Woolworths was an inept imitation of an obviously half-understood and probably mostly unread Finnegan’s Wake” dating back twelve years and never more than 2500 words long. If your claims that it was a “ground breaking novel” were met with derision then, in view of your track record as narcissistic liar, fraud and humbug, you have only yourself to thank.
Not “proven lies”, but entirely reasonable suppositions at least partially borne out by the fact that Granny Barkes fell in Woolworths seems to be a cobbled together scissors and paste job consisting largely of out of copyright photographs. As to that, we shall see when I get around to reading it.
And if you seriously imagine that I would put a single penny in the pocket of a duplicitous, bigoted bastard like you, the you must have one more screw loose than I thought.
