    Hi I found your opening chapters at last. A great read. Have a look at YWO and tell me what you think. As I said, You get some great feedback from the reviewers on there and if you get into the top ten there's chance a publisher will read your work too.

    Never ever run down your work, hon. You wouldn't write it if it was not worthy... :0)

    No problem, get your book as you want it, that's far important than reading my crap.

    Thanks Darren, that's the aim of my book - to suck you into the story and let you experience the feelings and emotions of the characters... Oh, they aren't werewolves... hee he They are always mistaken for being werewolves, but aren't.. the plot thickens..

    I'll give you stuff a read some time soon (I promise), I just need to get through my editing - it's important and I want to start the hunt for an agent soon.

    Guess that would explain it. After all it's about what sells, hey?
