Back to Work
I was close...so close...to putting the finishing touches on my manuscript and query letter and submitting to agents, and then my life was turned upside down by the sudden and unexpected loss of my mother to a massive heart attack.
It was difficult to focus, to finish, to WANT to finish...but then I realized that she would have wanted me to. It was slow going at first...my mind would wander and I would lose focus...but I think I have officially finished it.
I think I will put it up for a week or so, read through it again, especially the last little bit that I just wrote, and then...the moment I have been waiting for: SUBMISSION!
I have been getting some really good feedback on Authonomy. People really seem to like my book and have been asking if it is being published because they would be interested in buying it. Now, THAT is motivation! That's one big kick in the ass to get this done! People want to buy my book?
Okay, now I have to put it out there for them. So, let's do this!
I'm officially back.
This one's for you mom.

Authonomy Reviews on Ignited
Getting some awesome reviews on Ignited! Loving it! Loving that my readers are loving it!
YAPR/ YARG review
This is bloomin good! It's polished writing with well written characters. Now, this review is going to sound a little wishy washy because after reading four chapters I have hardly any notes! I love the line in chapter 2 - "He was the type of guy that could take a small hit to his ego. It wasn't going to go anywhere". Kris' voice is strong and consistent throughout the work and your dialogue runs smooth and works well.
Sorry for the really rubbish review but I couldn't find anything to pick up on!
Love it and I would certainly buy it if it were available.
High stars from me
Nik
YARG Review
I have one word, or sound... aw... where is the rest of the story, please tell me you've finished writing this and you are intending to upload more. I read all twenty chapters in one sitting, its very compelling reading and hooks you right in.
I loved Nathan's character and the relationship you build up between Kris and him, so well done.
The greek mythology element is believable and well constructed, and the tension you create between each chapter just makes you want to read on.
You cleverly leave the last line of each chapter as a cliff hanger, which is skilfully done.
As always with any review I start taking notes, but I'm sorry I gave up with this one, as I liked the story too much to put on an editors hat. So I have a few notes for the first chapter, and there probably could be some more polishing with subsequent chapters, but the story is great, and hey that's what sells. I think the YA audience would eat this up, its got all the essential elelments needed in this genre.
Please, please let me know if you upload anymore. Or if you publish it, I'd definitely buy a copy.
Congrats on writing such a fab story and best of luck with it.

Come read it!

IGNITED ON AUTHONOMY
Ignited is doing well on the authonomy website... we're cruising to the top on our way to the Editor's Desk. Come check it out, let me know what you think, rate and back the book. I appreciate your support. (Must be a member of Authonomy to rate and back a book, but all they need is an email and a PenName and you're in, and able to read books for free! How awesome is that, huh?)
