Reaction to your book...?

People divide into two camps after reading my work. Those who think I'm a great writer, and those who shout, "Lynch the bastard."

I've gotten people who didn't get the whole concept and why I changed one or two actual historical facts and twisted it slightly. For example, in "Don't Mess With Earth," I had Michelangelo steal the glider plans from Da Vinci(while still painting the Sistine Chapel), while Galileo was actually an advanced life form who helped him build the glider, while he tried to convince the humans that the Earth revolved around the sun. I did have Galileo arrested for heresy though. I have a few more examples, but I don't want to ruin the whole story!; ▶ Reply to This
