Since I disabled the comments feature on this blog some time ago, I've decided occasionally to post reader emails. Here's one I just received from somebody who calls herself Ace. A member of the Midnight Sun or just an innocent reader? You be the judge:
Mr. Bosch, I must say, you're a terrible authour, your books may have perfect grammer, and an exciting story line, but believe me I've read better books. Books that don't keep you waiting, and waiting, and waiting, for something that probably won't come until the end. What am I talking about? You know, the secret, that's what I'm asking for. If you were a real authour you wouldn't make poor kids waste their money, or they're parents money, whoever's paying, on buying the sequals, to find out the secret's not in them. When your fourth book, "This isn't what it looks like" comes out, I'm expecting that you'll have something worth reading for. And don't judge me by this email, it's not like I'm part of the Midnight sun, I'm only a kid. You know it will dissapoint me if you don't read this email. You probably get a lot of emails, from adults, or kids, saying your books are great, soo I know what you're thinking before you read this "OH look another email saying how great I am" That's pretty selfish Bosch. Alright, I was lying, your books are pretty fantastic and I do enjoy reading them, a very talented authour you are. But, knowing the secret would be even better. Better yet, why not reply to this email, as soon as possible saying what it is? What? You think I'm stupid for asking and that I should just wait untill the book comes out? Fine, I see how it is, I was right you are pretty selfish. I have an idea, why don't you come here. To the nearest book store to where I live. Maybe, have a book signing....... oh wait, nevermind. Alot of people may like your books, but where I live not many people do, actually, no one knows about your books for that matter. They're just on an insignificant shelf in my favourite book store. But it's not like I know who comes in and out buying them. Where am I getting at? No where. I just thought I'd send you an email of my thoughts. Like the casual 13 yearold I am. I don't know about you, but maybe we got off on the wrong foot. I don't hate you, I just don't like you. Call me Ace. (dispite the name I am a girl) Unlike you I'm fond of apples more than chocolate. I'm looking forward too your fourth book, since reading happens to be my favourtie hobby. You should try coming around to where I live or around my favourite book store. Its in a place called 'Chapters' in a place called 'Markham' in a place called 'Canada', though I wouldn't expect you to be there. Your probably too busy lying around eating chocolate at home. *Oh sorry was that offensive?* I'll be there September 21, or before, considering I need better books to read to keep me occupied. Reply, or not, it's not like YOU care. - Ace
Sorry, Ace. No plans to visit 'Canada' at the moment. Where is that anyway? But I hear the Impostor might be visiting Vancouver in October. Is that anywhere near Canada? Shhh! PB
