I am stunned at the comments, but I must say I am honoured to share the site with people who are true and genuine. Ray in my opinion, is one of the best authors I have read and cannot put any of his books down once a begin, he shares his time and knowledge, and has truly helped me and I am sure there are many others. Havent posted for a few years, but seanwhite juts gets my blood boiling, and I counld't help myself. Paul Schreurs

To come on a list dedicated to a well respected and successful author and not only put him down but self promote yourself as superior without even having been published is beyond bizarre. I hope you get published and your review have you compared to Tolkien, you'll never receive a penny from me and I will not be any less for never having read your far superior, self surprising work.
