Dave’s comments from the Reviews and feedback for self-published/indie authors - fiction group.

Are you a dendrochronologist or is that a typo? If it is a typo ... then it is a lovely idea so please don't change it! :)

Hello CL. I seem to have joined this group just after you. My book is not romantic fiction so may not be up your street but have a read of my post requesting review and let me know if you are interested. Many thanks, Dave Asthouart

4. Length: 128k

6. Feedback being sought: Review - but feel free to comment on anything that leaps out at you.
7 Synopsis/Book blurb: A dystopian fiction centered on one woman's personal battle in deciding whether to follow her principles or societies rules/expectations. The story broadens out however since her personal struggle exists within a changing society. The book covers those changes and how they impact, not only on her, but on her family as well.
'The Unnatural Woman' is listed here on Goodreads:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
and is available on Amazon (paperback and kindle):

I am happy to email anyone a free PDF of the manuscript for review purposes.
Many thanks for the group and to anyone in the group who wants to read and review.

[The novel is the first in a trilogy. The second book - The 'Red Dress' is published (but not listed on Goodreads) and the third book, 'The Eternals' I hope to publish by the end of February].
