In June I received an email out of the blue from Cory asking for my current address, and I received the book in July (2007). I was so shocked! I had given up on the whole thing. This made me quite sad, as I was ready to store all of my Dara Joy books in the back of my closet so I wouldn’t have to be reminded of this mess. I did read the book, and while I don’t feel as scathing towards it as the review I read, it certainly wasn’t great. I would rank it worse than That Familiar Touch (which I really think could have used a good editor).

Anyway, I’m glad it’s over but the whole thing still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It could be a long time before I want to read a Dara Joy book again.

I was less then thrilled with that familiar touch so I didn’t even order arrows. Sold it on ebay for $50. I kept all her other books I love them and read them still. Did the lawsuit and bad publicity sap her abilaity to write a descent book?

I have had this book now for over 7 months and still do not feel I could objectively read it yet. Maybe next year.

I followed Elizabeth’s advice last year. After a second more assertive email to Cory, I received my book. Good thing, because I was poised to contact the MA attorney general’s office myself. I was po’d about being lied to with the whole thing about the book being mailed out but must have been lost bit and of course, all the rest. I am curious if anyone has actually contacted the MA AG’s office and what, if any, results there were. The book is still sitting on a shelf, waiting for me to get to a point to be able to give it an objective read.

Thanks so much for putting this information out there. I also have not received my Wildcat Arrows book. I appreciate you taking the time to point out the direction for us unfortunate others to take in trying to get our book too.

This message is for the commenter “Dean”. I saw this comment and you other one on the allreaders board. My email address is working. Angie sent me a copy of your comments with your email address so I tried to send you an email and it comes back with a mailer dameon failure error, so that means there is some glitch between our emails. Could you use a different email address to send me your complaint? Thanks Elizabeth.

Still waiting on my books. I emailed Elizabeth at joycomplaints@yahoo.com and it came back with as a non valid email address. I have sent number 4 email to Cory and will probably be trying to get my money back via a credit card dispute.

I didn’t order it, but I’ve heard that many other people have the same problem. I don’t understand why Joy couldn’t go through a company like Lulu.com–they would handle the whole taking orders/book printing/fulfilling orders thing.

Anyway, I hope she comes through for you.
