Phantom Review Response

Posted on the 18 July 2012 by Gabrielc @gabrielcommon
   Hello again guys, with the first book in the Phantom series out and second one in the works, I just wanted to give you all a follow up based on reviews I’ve gotten so far. First of all I want to thank you, I’m getting lots of constructed feedback that I am taking into great consideration for the second book. For those of you who are giving offensive comments, if you have a problem with the book you have to explain, not just give me negative opinions. It’s fine if you think it sucks but explain to me what about it you don’t like either that or just give it a rate and don’t leave a comment.
   First I want to apologies for the grammar errors, I’m a bit disappointed myself next time I’ll just get the opinion of multiple editors not just one. Luckily the grammar isn’t as bad as my last couple of books; which was published by a Published America, an unaccredited publisher who supposedly says they are a traditional publisher yet they let books hit the shelf without even reading them first.
   Secondly I want to explain the content of the book. If you bought it believing it was a Christian book I apologize. I have never stated it as a Christian book and don’t know why it would be in that category. The Phantom saga is a science fiction/fantasy book. I myself am a Christian and I purposely didn’t mention god in this book for two reasons. The first being I don’t want to portray any parody of god in a story such as this one, second I believe that god is all powerful and didn’t want to make it too easy for the good guys. Now I never say that there isn’t a god in the book, I just don’t mention god and leave that open to the reader’s imagination. I actually have a book in the works that’s about the rise of the antichrist, this one will be more Christian but Phantom was merely intended to entertain so I apologize if you’re not happy with the content but it isn’t going to change. I can’t please everyone and I accept that.
   Lastly I apologize for what people described as the story jumping around too much. That is just my writing style, I like this to flow sharply and intense as in an action movie. However I am starting to see that maybe it doesn’t work well for books. So for the second book in the saga I’ll have a lot less jumping around and make the moment between scenes slower and steadier.
   Thank you all for your reviews and inputs, and I promise to better my books for your enjoyment.
