Weekends are hell. If you do them right. That's the subtext of the columns scrawled by Wiley from various states of semi-consciousness as he slinks out of the woodwork and insinuates himself into the soft underbelly of Southern California consciousness.

Smashwords book reviews by Escrit Lit

  • Doreen's Mid-life Crisis - Tease on Feb. 08, 2012
    (no rating)
    No, it's not supposed to mean anything in that form. We put it up to see how it looked because the artist is working on formatting the plates to fit the screens. It was published for about 5 minutes, during which you came in a spoiled it's rating with an ignorant one star and left an ignorant comment. Please don't do that again. It just SO sucks when people tear down your work for nothing.
  • The Girl In The Gondola on Feb. 29, 2012
    star
    Is this supposed to mean something? Or maybe this isn't appropriate. I'll remove this review if you'll remove yours of "Just Wake Up" It's not fair to stick a book in the process of being published with a one star review that will bring it down once it's published and promoted. You never read the damned thing.
