Quotes by Dan Franklin (?)

“Like most people who grew up poor, I’d adopted the automatic habit of appraisal when in new places. Unlike most, however, I never really understood the envy.”
― Dan Franklin, These Things Linger

3 likes

“grew up in rural Maryland, a little town called Fair Hill up in Cecil County, and I learned to fish early, in the lake behind our trailer. I was a gawky nine years old and could barely hold the rod and reel without my arm shaking.”
― Dan Franklin, These Things Linger

Dear Dan,

hope you are keeping well? :o)

Just a quick message to say that some abusive comments and 5 "1 star" ratings (ratings; no reviews) were posted in relation to my book from 5 fake goodreads accounts. I have reported this issue to librarians/goodreads help and I hope they will deal with this promptly. If you have any experience in dealing with similar situation, pls share- its a first time this happened to me and I am a bit upset.
Its worrying that "fake ratings" are possible, for they have the power to skew the true average rating.

Wishing you a lovely day :o)

Jasmine

Hello Dan :o)

Thank you for sharing that you come from humble beginnings; me- too.

I have a question: what other factors, do you think, give a human being an immense drive to achieve- apart from the humble beginnings, that is- a well known reason for a "fire in one's tummy" :o)

Thank you,

Jasmine
