Rejection Letters - How to Write and Respond to Them
Greetings gentle reader, and welcome to my first Goodreads blog. It's reprinted from my regular column over on the excellent This Is Horror site. As some of you may have missed it first time around I think it's worth a rerun. As I'm a horror author it begins with a horror story. A real life horror story.

Here's to reading some more great horrors in 2016!"Hey Pat, only just seen your message, so forgive me writing back four years later, but 2016 was a good reading year for me, and I wrote a few books too. Hope you are well and still voraciously consuming horror books.

Great to be in touch here and I look forward to our book discussions too.
