Making sense of the "Heat"!

Picture
I get lots of "likes" and "shares" to my weekly posts about The Unlived Lives of Raymond Quinn.

Multiple hundreds of them I very much appreciate.

A much smaller number also comment, which I loosely categorize as being:
A: "I'm interested"
B: "I've bought it/will buy it/read it"
C: "I saw a movie/read a book about it", or
D: "No way, we only have the one life we live".

I sub categorize the D group as being "I don't believe it so it can't happen" or "Just more science mumbo jumbo."

I've had to break up a few comment fights among the D group. Person #1 offers his/her biblical interpretation, which person #2 disputes, and they're off and running.

Like two individuals from different religions showing up at the same time on my front porch, arguing over the words of their lords (which to them are not the same.)

When it's comments about the posts, I let it go for a while hoping they'll get tired and stop commenting. If they don't they overwhelm what interests me, which is, what people think about Raymond's story.

(When they actually are on my front porch, I just don't answer the door.)

None of this surprises me.

Any story about a guy who's been dead for 46 years, and doesn't know it, is bound to generate heat. And who am I to say what they say is not right?

All that aside, some of the better stuff has positively affected the summer sequel, The Unlived Lives of Shelly Bennett.

Thank you for that; keep the likes, shares, and comments coming.
