Christa’s review of Stone of Hatred > Likes and Comments

I am so glad you liked my first book! I understnad that there are issues with it. I spent a year going through this with a company that was supposed to help me only for said company to backstab me and turn into a scam. After that the editor that I had for books 2-now only had one month to go in and fix my entire first book without being able to do a second sweep. It's been hard and sadly I am only human. I also agree with you in the fact that when I first started out writing book one, I lacked in world bulding. I tried my hardest but even I sometimes go back and read it and want to facepalm. I will always read every comment and though some might be one stars and hurt me, it only makes me grow. Reading what my audience thinks had made me relieze that some of the things you listed were said by a few others. Meaning that these are indeed areas that I lack. I wish I was perfect. I wish everyone loved my stuff, but that's not logical. Haha. I loved reading all your thoughts and I do hope you continue to love the series! Book four should be out soon! Don't forget you can always go to www. kocseries .com to check out updates and whatnot.

I am so sorry to hear that all of that happened to you. I can't even imagine the heartbreak and the frustration. But I am happy you kept going despite the significant setbacks.
However, you should not feel bad about your shortcomings and mistakes. I am far more lenient with indie writers than mainstream publishing, and it's unfair for you to be review-bombed like that. Finishing a book is a great accomplishment, especially when doing it alone.
Reading your book has inspired me to pick up writing again because of how different it is from mainstream trends.
I also plan on leaving long reviews on the rest of your series! I follow you on Facebook and Instagram, too, so if you post your new release updates there, I will see them much faster. I hope you get sorted with Amazon soon; I'll buy the fourth book immediately!
