"Alyson,
I just ordered your book. It looks fascinating - kind of a cross between Contagion and The Road, but with a mystery. I can't wait to find out what happens! It's actually rare that I find a book so intriguing just by reading the…"

"Jayme,
Not only can I not seem to joing the Yahoo group, but SheWrites won't let me send personal messages anymore. Maybe this is a hint from the Universe that I shouldn't be in this group anymore...:-("

"Yes Tina I agree.
She has been battling for 11 years now, so it isn't anything new to us, just a new tumor really. Writing is what has gotten me through many a trial and tribulation over the years. Thanks for the kind words :)"

Hey Tina,
Thought I'd give you a shout over here, as the conversation on the board seemed to be kind of settled. Just wanted to say that I do think there's plenty of market for books that appeal to male readers, and that finding a readership that's more balanced, gender-wise, may position you to receive more critical attention from the bigger venues. It's true that more books are purchased by women, but more books are reviewed by men. Funny double-edged sword, really... I guess for me the path has always been to write the novels I want to write and THEN figure out -- with publishers -- how best to market them.
Wishing you all the best,
Summer

Hey Tina,
Since the first 10 pgs of my MS have generated some interest, and I think it may be waning after 30 pgs, what part of it should I post on virtual critique? Also, is that private? The query critiques were not and pull up via google searches.
