I'm the author. :-)<BR/><BR/>Your point about bad language is an interesting one. EMOTIONAL GEOLOGY was my first novel and I had no idea that readers would be put off by this. (Consider what's said in films and on tv, or indeed what you can hear standing at a bus-stop!) But a few readers have been distracted by this, so with subsequent books I thought carefully about whether "bad language" was really necessary for the sake of authenticity, or whether something milder would do.<BR/><BR/>Feedback from readers is invaluable to an author. I don't always adapt of course, but it's useful and interesting to hear readers' responses. When you're writing the book, you don't have any idea what someone else will make of it. You keep writing and hope for the best!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
