Reply to some of the Questions I've seen about my books.

Hello,

I have tried twice to reply to this thread and my reply had been error because it was too long. LOL So I will do a blog of my own on it and post a link to the sight that led me to post this.


Hello, I'm Shiree McCarver and I want to thank you for giving me my own thread. I want to thank all of you who posted your comments to this thread. It helps me out a lot that's why I Google myself.

Grammar. I profusely suck at it. I always have, but I have a gift of telling a story and I try to do that well. However, I'm not stupid enough to think it's enough to build the legacy as a writer I would like to leave behind.

In my frustration after dealing with 3 publishers, as you see in the errors of JPOP LOVE SONG. It's much harder to get changes done through a publisher that is why I am a self-published author.

If anyone had been reading my books since All I Want Is You. You're noticing a marked difference in the errors and grammar that is because of reader of mine that swooped down on me like the angel she is to help me because I was going to walk away from writing altogether when my attempt to go back to grammar book English left me as frustrated as it did when I was in school
I would have tried harder at it if I knew I was going to be a writer instead of a vocalist like I had been dreaming to be all my life. Never considered that I be so scared on stage I would forget my words. AS much as I love singing it still happens today, but I digress, see this is why my other posts were too long and this is unfortunately how my brain works when I write. LMAO I will be the bag lady talking to myself on the side of the road one day with madness, I already know this. LOL

My proofer/editing angel is Gail Flowers. She doesn't try to change my voice as a writer because she says she doesn't know nothing about the writing process but she do know the English language better than I do and I not arguing, I'm just grateful she reached out to help me because I was retiring as a writer if she hadn't. I suck at it. This is why you have seen a the difference in reading The re-release version The Lord and The Scorpion which is the Lulu version, The Prince and the Panther, All I Want is You, Dirty Little Secrets, and as of yesterday's release Visual Kei Rock Star.

She is going through my old books one by one starting with Eternally I Do editing them and it will take some time.

To be sure I suggest you go to www.shireemccarver.com and read my sample characters before purchasing the books.

I love writing about Asian heroes and it seems to be coming my trademark even though it wasn't intentional. I love Asian men and I felt I would be wrong not to put my love for them and the cultures in general in my own books.

Jpop Love Song I can't do anything about the grammar I've tried, I've cried and fought over it until I had to let it go because it was creatively blocking me. I trusted someone and they obviously didn't have the clout with the publisher as I had thought and I rather let it go for the next 4 years left on my contract with Parker's than ruin our friendship over it.

I hope this clarify some of your questions. The thing I won't be changing is my love for purple prose and for my characters being very talkative. It's part of my writing process. My books are Movies in my head and I write them like they play out. Movies are a lot of Dialog, it moves the stories.

Thank you again!
