Marcy Kennedy is a science fiction and fantasy author who believes there's always hope. Sometimes you just have to dig a little harder to find it. In a world that can be dark and brutal and unfair, hope is one of our most powerful weapons.

She also writes award-winning mysteries under a pen name, but that's a secret. Shhhh...

3.5 stars. I liked the story generally, but some of the decisions that Mellie made didn't make sense. I understood the character growth that the author was going for, but it came across as a little scattered. All that said, I think this might have be ...more

Hi Marcy -
Thanks for being my GR friend!
I am moderator of a new private group here on GR, a writing group mainly. I was wondering if you could suggest any excellent fundamental craft bks that I could propose to the grp? Our first bk is Stephen King's "On Writing."
We have people writing in all types of genres, including poetry.

Also, A far as group guidelines in terms of respect for other members and using pics, not images, etc., do you have any ideas what would be a couple of other good guidelines for the group? I didn't know if you had personal experience in terms of groups.

I look forward to perusing your bookshelf. I am still adding - and will be for a while!

thanks & take care -
Monique
