Thanks, y'all. You've made me feel better about releasing the book. Hopefully someone else will come along who will love it more than I did.

Hi all,

Shannon, you've just made me smile! Yes, I've had that same problem. I started proofing a book and discovered that it was a "Christian" mystery. Man was it a Christian mystery with a capital C. Now, I'm a Christian, but I don't want to have to be preached to while I'm reading or proofing a mystery. The author got more and more preachy, the longer the book went on, so finally, I just released it. I couldn't take it any more. It was awful! There are any number of reasons for releasing a book, and extreme dislike or feeling uncomfortable with the book's content is a valid reason for releasing the book so that somebody else can proof it.
