It is one of the few stories in which a young reader and adult can both inmerse themselves in and feel like a part of them,whether present or past,is reflected. Can't wait to read any future books from this author!AVSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042548341447954983.post-32357365954650600102011-12-29T09:01:50.478-06:002011-12-29T09:01:50.478-06:00Jessica: Wow...a dream huh?

Agreed on the art...it doesn't make or break it, but it helps. ^_^<br /><br />Petty Witter: Same here...and I certainly agree on inspiration. Never know when it will strike. Thanks for the kind words!<br /><br />Emidy: Yep.

She woke up and told me about it and I kept asking "and then what happened?!" and wrote it up and stuck it in the story ideas folder :)<br /><br />I also listen to Taylor Swift when I write YA. But as for editing - it is always better to listen to something harder (Thrice comes to mind). You have to be ruthless!<br /><br />I am definitely checking this one out based on your recommendation. I know cover art is a big deal, but hopefully she can re-release it with better art at a later date! There are some really great stock-photo places online.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806213335024533276noreply@blogger.com
