Comments on: Fiction Addiction: 3 Simple Ways to Make Your Series HOOK Readers https://authorkristenlamb.com/2019/09/series-hook-readers/ Author, Blogger, Social Media Jedi Fri, 20 Sep 2019 09:15:26 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.8 By: jsgreenblog https://authorkristenlamb.com/2019/09/series-hook-readers/#comment-113629 Fri, 20 Sep 2019 09:15:26 +0000 https://authorkristenlamb.com/?p=27239#comment-113629 Yes to observations about Breaking Bad. A series I am in love with is on Amazon Prime – The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. If you haven’t watched it, check it out. 1950s “normal” turned very abnormal for the time. And it’s hilarious. I’ve been thinking about Hitchcock, lately and used to do that – take the normal, mundane, and shoot a dose of the absurd into it. A guy is laid up (no tv) with a broken leg and stares out a window: bam – witnessed a murder. The Birds…etc. Great post, as always.

I don’t know how many series she has in this world, but MAN, are they great books! If you haven’t read them you should crack at least one open- the characters feel real- though not all endings are entirely happy, they leave you with a feeling of triumph! 🙂

Dan,

I immediately emailed you the class to this email the day that you left this comment. I have a screenshot of that. I also responded to the email yesterday (sent from a different email address). I am trying VERY hard to get the class to you, but this far I’ve gotten three different email addresses from you.

Please email me at kristen at wana intl dot com so I can get you the class you ordered and I can even throw in a bonus class for all the trouble. I don’t know if it is a spam filter issue, sun spots or what, but I have documentation that I’ve TRIED on numerous occasions to get the class to you. If something is falling through the cracks, I need to know why and where and how so I can stop that from happening.

For the record, I have definitely not ignored you and have done everything in my power to get that class to you, so there must be a tech bug somewhere. Also, there is a contact page on this site that you can message me through. But, since we are here in the comments, I am telling you I have been working very hard to get that class to you.

Thanks!

Kristen

Hollywood is in BIG trouble and really not the market for doing series any justice. Amazon made a FANTASTIC series “Bosch” from Connelly’s “Harry Bosch” series. “Rizzoli & Isles” was done very well on (NBC?). iZombie is wonderful, but that is Netflix. I think the more mature audiences are wanting more time to get to know characters, and 90 minutes or even blockbuster movies aren’t doing it anymore.

Hollywood destroyed J.R.R. Tolkien’s the Hobbit. I haven’t gone to the movies since, and the way Hollywood is going, I may never bother again–not even for free popcorn. Blockbuster movies
usually suck.

I registered.
I paid with Pay Pal.
Pay Pal and your receipt : Transaction ID: 00E10498AT669733N proves I paid.
But no class.
This is the only way I could find to contact you.
Your website gives no contact info, usually found in the About tab.
Now what ?
