I really do despair sometimes. Last year I released "Hotspots", a free collection of bits and pieces from my other work. On the amazon page for Hotspots it states - "A fine selection of extracts from erotic stories and articles by world-renowned erotica author Peter Birch." I then get a one star review as follows - "It's not what I expected. It's more an instruction manual than a novel ...won't be recommending it to anyone for sure."

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!! Did I say it was a novel? Is there the slightest implication that it's a novel, anywhere? Can this person actually read!? Oh well, if I am going to get one star reviews I suppose it's some consolation that they come from people with all the mental agility of a stuffed raccoon.

Rant over.
