Hello Henya,I just finished reading the first 3 chapters of Blow Forward and all I can say is wow. I normally don't read Thrillers but I enjoyed reading this and definitely want to read more. The prose was tight and your research was evident. I had to come and read your profile and I can see that you have spent a lot of time investing in yourself as a writer. I wanted to let you know that it is all paid off. Wishing you all the best.

okay, for some reason, I can't message you.  I need to email your crits to you because I was too late!  Just finished chapters 3,4 and 5,6,7.  if you want me to email them to you, email me at abigail_boone@yahoo.com

Hello Henya and thanks.  From your premeditated space on Black Diamonds: 

Jamie should have told them to go to hell; instead, she placed her hands on her hips and eyed them up and down, taking in their Stetsons, cowboy boots. “Is that the best you can do?”

Hi - I just posted my critique on the Welcome thread - the thread I'm supposed to post it to was closed? It's a file. Hope you find it.

Henya, I just opened the door to the novelist group for you - welcome! You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. And we do a live chat every Wednesday; hope you can join us for that!
