Thanks, y'all. I should probably finish the re-read/edit I'm doing now and make the changes I know need to happen first, and get back to you then.

Who? moi??
Interesting article in todays news paper (San Francisco Chronicle) probably at www.sfgate.com. The writer of the article is Adair Lara.
edited to tell you the article is about romance writers

Because books.
Brand-new here. Saw the writing thread and decided to come on in.
Susan W., I'd love to hear more about Lucy and Mr. Wright. I was an editor at a publisher for years, and I acquired mostly romance, historical and contemporary. I'm home with kids writing now, too. Sounds like you're expecting any day now?
Historicals can be a hard sell. And Avon (while it's definitely a wonderful place to be published) is extremely hard to get into precisely because their romances are so successful.
I'll check back in tomorrow, or you can email me if you like. And if I'm making newbie mistakes all over the place, I apologize...

Welcome! The only newbie mistake around here is being a jerk, and you're far from that.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Hey! We have a new writer! (waving)
AmyLiz, what Betsy said.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Susan, I never got to read your book this summer, although I've heard all kinds of fab things about it.
I'd love to look at it, and I cannot tell you how many thousands of romances I've read.
Lord, that's scary.
Email addy is good.

Thanks, Erin! I'm holding off until I've had a chance to rewrite the beginning, because that's the one thing I know for sure needs fixed, but I'll let you know when that's ready.
