Query: Amateurish writiing at its best.

Case in point: (Pg. 236) "'Good day to you', James said overly formally to the woman, and stopped her in her tracks, he thought. He walked purposefully from the room...." Weak verb and adverb combinations (ie., "said overly formally" and "walked purposefully" ) dominate the author's writing style. Besides the horrible writing, the story is a real dud.
