Secret Speakers: Read & Rate It discussion

I heard from Dawn, so I know she got the Prologue and Chapter One. Any one else?

I got both of them!

I got both of them, and thank you!

I haven't received anything. When was it sent out?

Got it. Will read soon.

I sent it out last night. Are you sure you signed up at http://www.SecretSpeakers.com, Meg? I'll try to check this thread later today to hear from you. I gotta run for now...

I dont think I did either. Wonder if it got filters to junk folder. Ill search around.

I got the countdown email but no others and nothing filtered to my junk folder. hmmmm

I just got it, yeah!

It comes from my secretspeakers.com email just so that recipients email servers won't see it as spam...must not always work that way. If you want me to send it to you personally Tera, send me a message...

I didn't get it either......

I got but on the Spam file..then I tried to download it but for some reason it wouldn't be saved..! :(

Karey-

OMG! I just read the first paragraph in the prologue and let me tell you... "IT'S AMAZING!!!"

And if you aren't convinced take it from someone who has had a cold for the past two weeks (I call it the cold from hell) and who has suffered from A.D.D. my entire life! So, my attention span right now is slim to non-existant and I've always had a bit of trouble concentrating, hence the A.D.D. If I had to find a word for the beginning of this book, I would say "captivating!" The book has my full attention!

I can't wait to read the rest!

Thanks Dawn! And for Laila, Jackie, and Tera: I just posted the Prologue and Chapter One to Secret Speakers for you at http://www.SecretSpeakers.com.

I got Prologue and Chapter One too. It was very good.

Oh, and btw... I just got done reading and it was AMAZING! I think that this tops my favorite series by Stephanie Meyer (and that takes a lot)! I believe that this will top Twilight sales if enough people find out about it!

I didnt get them :( they might have went to my spam mail and I didn't check it and its already been erased. Could you send it again and this time I will check spam before throwing it out. :)

I'm reading it now!

OOhh Liver seems pretty!

That was so amazingly good! IT was better than Twilight! You have an incredible imagination Karey!

i didn't get the prologue and chapter one!

Wow! What a story! It was fascinating to read and I can't wait to read the rest. Your writing is incredible, Karey.

I agree! SO incredible.

I haven't gotten mine yet, either

Wait, I did get the prologue, but not chapter one.

I got it!

Haven't had a chance to read it yet, but will in the next couple days!

I got a message, but because I don't have a computer at home I just use my blackberry when I am not at work and didn't try going to the link to see if it worked on my phone.
Just checked the links from the computer at work and I got them both.

No, I didn't get either. Please send so I can get started!!!!

For all those who didn't get them, you can download the prologue and Chapter One at http://www.SecretSpeakers.com. They're on the lower left side of the screen.

I call fowl!!! Only a prologue and the first chapter! As with Oliver Twist. Please Karey, can I have some more!!!

What? More you say, Margaret? More?! Rather than aim a blow at your head like Oliver's master, and pinion your neck with my arm while shrieking for the beadle, I'll consider sending you another morsel. A tidbit. And I promise not to threaten hanging you.

Then, I promise not to ask for more right away. At least I'll try!

Alright then. Look for Secret Speakers, Chapter Two in your inbox come evening, if not sooner (if I'm feeling particularly generous, that is.) LOL.

I say bring on some more!!!

I say bring on some more!!!

Here's some more, then! I just sent Chapter Two. It should be in your email inbox within the hour...It's also posted on http://www.SecretSpeakers.com in case your email treats it like spam. Whew. (Now I'm going to go get my new pair of glasses so I can see. Who knows, I may have sent you the adventurous tales of a wild pig in New York instead. Let me know!)

I didn't receive the first mailing, but I received this one today. Thank you.

Karey!!!!!!!! I can't wait to read the second chapter! Now, can we beg for a third????

I'm thinking . . . thinking . . . thinking. I was planning on just sending one more before you get all of Secret Speakers next week. What's the vote? Who wants a chapter a day until then, or who wants to wait?

I got the prologue, chapter one, and chapter two. Thanks.

I vote a chapter a day, yay yay!!!

I know I said I wouldn't ask for any more right away, but this is the next day so PPLLEEAASSEE!!!! I love the start of this book. It's like a good potato chip, you can't read just one chapter. Yummy!!!

I would go for a chapter a day. More if your generous, and you know it's Christmas time! I look forward to anything you want to send!! I'll gobble it up like a Christmas turkey.

Do you want us to help you edit? Or just give our opinion? Or both?

Come January, I'll be sending everyone a link so they can fill out little questionnaires. For those who are so inclined, any comments on typos are welcome. So, Christeena, I guess I'm answering, "both."

I have a phenomenal editor whose father is the former Senior Editor at a division of HarperCollins. We haven't done the final edit yet, since I'm doing this read and rate it event first and may be making minor changes (I won't be changing the story. That would be just evil!) So...you may see typos along the way.

(I have a good excuse. I just had eye surgery a month ago because I'd gone blind in one eye. Seriously! So now that I have a bionic eye, and new prescription glasses as of today, I may be able to see those pesky little typos again.)

And Margaret, I'll TRY to get another chapter out soon. I didn't even get to write today. Ran errands the whole day. Are you starving?

I just downloaded the prolouge and it was AWESOME! Beautifully well-written! :)

I guess I am. Both for something to eat and a good read. I haven't ate anything yet today. When I start writing, I just forget about everything else. Also, I've read everything in the house and the ones I have downloaded. I haven't gotten a chance to get to the bookstore or library to replenish. I read fairly fast, so a good book doesn't last long enough to satisfy me(keeping with the food theme). Looking forward replenishing my supply with another chapter, hint, hint.

Margaret, I know exactly how it is when you start writing and get so involved that you forget the time and forget to eat. Then I wonder why I'm starving. lol

So, I've been busy and I'm going to send out a few more chapters Saturday night...it's been a long, but good week!

Oh I have an idea Karey, but it might be too much...
