If someone asked about her services, I would certainly tell them privately. At the time (this was a few years back) I considered putting my two cents out there about her and her services, but I feared it would make me sound like an insecure writer that couldn’t handle criticism. I can, but the ‘shredding’ part wasn’t what I bargained for. Thanks for stopping by!

It is sad, Diane. And Scruff would be happy to eat any unsavory reviews! I appreciate you stopping by.

You really should write a review of her services, especially as she charges. What a scam! Actually it would be helpful to other authors if you did.
I suppose you have to take the high road, but maybe spread the word in private. We’d all be grateful.

I have some of comments Scruff can chomp on. And I see nothing wrong with your premise. I have to go check it out.

I’ve been appalled lately at the hatefulness in reviews coming out of NetGalley and on Goodreads (aka Badreads). I’m afraid it’s a sign of the times. God help us.
