 Finding reviews in the oddest places!

As some of you may know from my website, www.dorotheajensen.com, I used to have another website  spotlighting A Buss from Lafayette. After a few years, I found that keeping up two sites with sometimes overlapping content was too much for me. I canceled everything I could, and stopped payment on the site host, thinking that meant the end of it.

Not long after that, however, I discovered that my old domain name had apparently been acquired by a Nigerian scam group. Weirdly enough, they left all the information about my book in situ. Instead, they inserted links to their scams inside what I had originally posted. Very Strange.

Recently I stumbled across my old site's latest iteration. It is now being used to attract people to some other kind of foreign investment venture. Oddly enough, it appears that someone actually read A Buss from Lafayette and wrote a review on the site! (I believe that this was done so that all the positive qualities of my story could be linked to the positive qualities of the investment deal.) 

Since I feel that a review is a review no matter its source or purpose, however,  I am posting it here:

Once upon a time, in the world of literature, there was a remarkable historical novel for young adults known as "A Buss from Lafayette." Written by the talented author Dorothea Jensen, this book took readers on a journey through time and history, offering a delightful blend of education and entertainment.  In "A Buss from Lafayette," readers are introduced to a witty young girl in New Hampshire who embarks on a quest to discover her family's past, understand her own identity, and explore the significant role of General Lafayette in America's fight for independence during his Farewell Tour of America in 1824-5. As they turn the pages, readers are not only captivated by the intriguing characters and their adventures but also enlightened about a pivotal period in American history.

"A Buss from Lafayette" is a story of discovery, identity, and the pursuit of what is just and right. It reflects the values of integrity, honesty, and the relentless quest for truth. . . 

Clearly whoever read my book and wrote about it understood what I was trying to do.

Not bad for a foreign investment dude!

Sincerely,

Dorothea
