Keep at it! And don't let anyone tell you that you can't. And rejection (which can seem like a living, breathing thing that is constantly ringing your doorbell), don't let it cripple you. If you can be objective, which is often pretty hard to do, consider that maybe the criticism is warranted. The best advice I ever got was from a literary agent who rejected me after she raved about my partial manuscript, but ultimately rejected my full. She'll likely never know it, but I owe her insight for finally landing an agent and getting a book deal.

Not a question?(sorry). I couldn't figure out how to message you, but I just wanted to let you know "The Last Time She Saw Him" was a great book! I haven't read a book in a LONG time that sucked me quite as hard as that one. Thank you for pulling me out of my reading slump. You're a great author! Can't wait to read Duplicity! Have a nice day :)

Jane Haseldine:
Jane, I'm thoroughly enjoying reading Duplicity and plan to read other books by you; but a few things I've noticed in the free copy you sent me: 1) On page 117 you talk about Rossi's "3 year old daughter" and on page 145, you say "she wouldn't live to see her third birthday". Also earlier you said Rossi's daughter was only 2 years old. 2) Page 43: " Twyla's tosses her pink, " shouldn't it just be Twyla?
