False Accusations

Maybe there is some misunderstanding by ‘Liz’, and now ‘Seicolegwr’, as to the purpose of our site? It is not and was never intended to be a FORUM, although they have both, we believe disingenuously and artfully, posted comments on Amazon to the effect that they cannot comment on our site, and by this means they have also evidently managed to plant — through their chosen Amazon avenue — a surprising amount of gratuitous insult and accusation.

As to ‘Liz’, perhaps we were drawing too close by voicing our suspicions in our posts because she claimed her latest comment to be her last: ‘memo to self, “stop feeding the trolls!” so I have.’ And it has just been pointed out to us that ‘troll’ is used pejoratively in internet jargon — by those who know. ‘Seicolegwr’ writes: ‘…but my comments were neither published nor acknowledged (and nor have anyone else’s been)’ — although he cannot know that — and he goes on to pour thorough-going unpleasantness upon us. Incidentally, we have actually responded privately to those whom we believe to be genuine. Continue reading →

We are not convinced!

No protestation, however skilfully contrived, has convinced us that ‘Liz’ is not, in fact, the author of West; with each comment we believe the circumstantial evidence increases.

Recently she invited us — to prove that she wasn’t Jim Perrin — to ‘look up the rest of [her] reviews…’  (On Amazon.)

We did:  ‘These [mules] are extremely comfortable and really nice in the silver (actually more of a pewter colour).  Good value.  Flattering.’  And, of a second pair, ‘These sandals are sooo [sic] comfortable and well made. The brown ones…’.  Her reviews are not in the same literary style as her comments about us!  And as a note said both of these items were ‘currently unavailable’, we wonder why she bothered. (Except of course we think she was merely spinning a yarn, and placing false comments as part of her (JPs?) on-going subterfuge.)

Jac’s sisters have reviewed West on Amazon: now largely discredited for the exaggeration and the proved and reprehensible lies of the author — it is hardly surprising that it has achieved neither good sales figures* nor even a place on the long-list for the prestigious ‘Wales Book of the Year’. Doubtless this will have surprised Jim Perrin greatly as he has been the blue-eyed boy of that literary circle for many profitable years…  Continue reading →

Jim Perrin’s fiefdom ?

We were at first intrigued by the spite with which ‘Melangell’ wrote of us in comments on the Guardian thread, 24/07/10, then amused by what were clearly spurious postings on other sites; finally, bored with the nonsense which was issued at every opportunity — and which we suspected to be devised entirely by Jim Perrin, using that name as an alias — we set up this site.

It is said that ‘All publicity is good publicity’ and perhaps we should have left the matter, rather than undertaking this journey in which all sign-posts point ‘West:’ but our natural wish was for the truth about our late sister’s ill-fated relationship with this author to be made known and we realised that as Jac’s sisters, we were best placed for the task.

If we do not speak, Jim Perrin’s provable lies and deceptions — his attitudinising — would go on indefinitely and this knowledge led us to overcome our reluctance and to set out on our venture: from technophobes we became twenty-first century bloggers. Continue reading →
