Whew-- had a first cold read come back on the new proposal and they called it Twilight meets Time Traveler's Wife in the best of ways with a lovely fairy tale quality
I can live with those sorts of comparisons if it'll help sell the thing. *g*
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Wonderful-sounding review, Barb! Much proposal~ma for more reactions like that.
Congrats on finishing the main revisions, Gud! I hope the submission stage leads to great things.
