Hello, guys.

I am currently working on a new book, and I am really enjoying the story so far and the plot that is to come. But I would like to have some people review the first five chapters of the book (those are the chapters I have so far), and tell me if it has an interesting concept.

I really don't want to spend months, or even a year, on this book just to find out that no one finds the story interesting at all. Here's a description of the book:

--My name is Silar; but I go by Sil, pronounced like the aquatic, blubbery mammals. My parents think I'm gifted, but everyone else thinks I'm a freak, all because I have this ability that no one else in the world has. I can communicate with the dead. Yeah, I know. I'm Weird. But I do use this "gift" to help others, whether it's helping the spirits find peace or helping their relatives obtain closure.

But what's the point of having this "gift" if I couldn't even save my brother's life? I do know who did it, though. And I won't stop until he pays for what he's done.--

You can send a personal message to me, or you could email me at markpurifoybooks@hotmail.com.

Hi, I would like to introduce my newest teen romance "Hot Summer Nights". It is not a full-length novel, but still a satisfying read especially for the reader who does not have a long attention span or does have time to read. I would love the support and any opinions or criticisms. Thanks!
