Decent reputation?   By who, himself?  Got any

Decent reputation?   By who, himself?  Got any 3rd parties that have anything to say about him and not he talking about himself?

In my world, a "reputation" is something by others.  And since nobody buys the dude's books that speaks volumes more than anything.

I wouldn't be surprised if the book was written by a message board basher.  Interesting first name he has.
