Writer’s life
The life of a writer involves putting some okay stuff down on paper (1,358 words) and the next day cutting that exact same section and putting some much better stuff down on paper (over 2,000 words) and the next day cutting that exact same section and completely rewriting the whole **** section (1,506 words). I’m wondering if I will be cutting today’s section tomorrow. Worried that I won’t hav

| Lovely to return to beloved teen reads. Vocabulary expertly used to be more specific in descriptions. Which means I, as the reader and an award winning author, get more out of the story. A high school teacher kept telling us that there were only a li ...more | |

"The Good: The late great Anne McCaffrey had a wonderful way with words, as is evident here. Crisp writing and lots of details took me to another galaxy without leaving my chair. Killashandra was a likable heroine; despite dire circumstances, she refu"

Lucinda,I will be shipping the books out on Monday. The winner list arrived yesterday but I was out of town and post offices are closed today, Sunday. I hope you are out of the hospital before the book arrives. I am excited to have more than half the winners from outside the United States. Please let me know when you receive it. A delay in review is no problem, get well first. I hope "The Blood (The Stones Blade, #1)" will entertain you. I look forward to reader reaction and discussions. One of my daughters is encouraging me to post Youtube Podcasts of my reading the book. It won't be as good as a professional reader but having read it aloud to myself during the final editing process I find I am excited about sharing it with others verbally as well as in print. The e-book will be available at a reduced price starting May 8th (today) through the 14th in a Kindle Countdown Deal on Amazon.com. I think you can get in the UK if you have a Kindle device. Let your friends know.
Keep reading and concentrate on the joy books can give you - smile a lot - know that you are healing. I look forward to future conversations, opinions and your review of "The Blood".
Allynn
Dear Allynn,Thanks so much for accepting my friend request! I am delighted to have won {through a first-read giveaway} a copy of your debut novel "The Blood (The Stone's Blade, #1)", which I am really looking forward to reading and reviewing.
Kind Regards
Lucinda F
PS.- I am currently in hospital and so although able to read books, it may be a while before I can post a review online: on Goodreads and Amazon websites. I do hope this delay is okay?
Many thanks x
