Here is one of the very 1st replies I received in response to my newsletter:

"I would pay for it...ONLY if you have more books by authentic literary writers and not that urban fiction trash."

Now if you read my current eNewsletter or any of them I take great care include a wide variety of good material. I tell you it is an uphill battle.

Of course many people immediately subscribed (not as many as i hoped, so far). But the positive replies out weighed the negative -- fortunately :-)
