We did it. We got Emmett Delaney’s One Wrong Turn to the desk where it belongs. Fingers crossed that HarperCollins will like it as much as we did.

I was humbled by Emmett’s recommendation of my novel, Old Number Seven, in his thank-you address to his supporters. He’s a real class act and I’m so happy that he felt so highly of the story.

Of course I would be overjoyed if you wanted to take a look. Written as an action-packed literary fiction tale, it’s the story of an old man, his dog and an antiquated steam powered pumping station trying to take on the might of Hurricane Katrina. It’s based loosely on events I witnessed as a reporter covering that terrible time in history. I welcome your comments and thoughts, and thank you in advance for your support.

Kind Regards,

John Breeden II

Hi justreadin,

I read femmefranglaise's book and commented, and she had backed No Kiss Good-bye for a quite a long time, some time back :))

A 38-year-old mother. Two young daughters. A father left behind. An immovable adversary. No Kiss Good-bye is my story of escaping communist Romania in 1981 along switchbacks that led to America.

It’s currently ranked #4. I'd be honored if you'd consider reading, commenting, and backing it (if you find it worthy).

Here’s the link: http://www.authonomy.com/books/39263/no-kiss-good-bye. Thank you so much!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support of One Wrong Turn on its way to the desk. It was a long ride, made longer by my inability to be on site the last four months. There really are no words to express my gratitude that you stuck with the book and I appreciate it very much.

I’m sure that now OWT has made the desk you’ll be rearranging its shelf spot and looking for new material. Naturally I’d love for you to check out one of my older offerings, MIRACLE IN THE SWAMP, but if I may recommend a couple of my other site favorites, perhaps you might have a look at them.

Hello Justreadin

I wonder if you could spare a little time to take alook at my children's book, Speedy McCready.

Best wishes
Debbie

Hi justreadin,
Thank you so much for backing 'Where She Lies', I really appreciate that. I've put 'Le Vie on Rose' on my watch list to read as soon as I can.

Best wishes,
Nick

Thanks so much, friend of Melanie, your support means so much.

Prrrrrps!
Joe

Thanks and I hope you dont mind this message

Hi Just Readin,

I read the first chapter of Melanie's excellent book three weeks ago. I'm now reading more and noted your name in the comments. You might find my book interesting.

Here is the pitch for "Savannah Oak":

When Savannah socialite Hayley Falcon intervenes to rescue her daughter from her abusive boyfriend, everything Hayley holds dear is threatened.

Meet Hayley Falcon, a gun-toting matriarch, and her defiant daughter, Maxine, whom she loves unconditionally. Meet obese, sociopathic Tater, a computer technician who has lived with and exploited Maxine since she graduated from college. Follow Hayley as she is plunged into chaos in order to rescue her daughter from self-destruction. Watch as Maxine’s amoral and purposeless life blows up, literally.

Plot twists abound in this contemporary Southern suspense novel. Think "Dallas" meets "Fatal Attraction."

If you find this pitch interesting, I hope you'll read a chapter or two and let me know how I might improve the story.

Have a marvelous day.

Al

PS: I'll be posting my additional comments on "La Vie En Ros" in the next day or so (when I finish my read).

Hi justreadin,
Soon you may notice a hole in your bookshelf where My Husband’s Memory used to be. I had to take my book down because I was offered a contract with a small press, and they ask that unedited copies be removed from any online critique groups. Thanks for your support, and I’ll update my profile with more info when I have it or can reveal it.I'm staying on Authonomy - I think this place is great fun, for the reading as well as the writing.

If you’re looking to fill the hole, I’d like to suggest taking a look at:

Rachel, the Harper Collins site administrator, recently chose my book, Filthy Luca as her weekly 'One to Watch'. Can I interest you in taking a look?

Here's the link to Rachel's blog if you're interested in seeing what she has to say:

Thanks for the shelve! I see I'm in good company up there. :)

Thanks for the backing Justreadin! Always nice to meet a friend of La FemmeFranglais too.

All the best

Neal.

Thanks ever so much for the backing, Just - hugely appreciated. Yes, Melanie is a splendid writer - and I very much hope she'll put Warminster on the literary map!

Have a splendid day,
Pete

Hi Justreadin,

It's really good of you to be reading future classics and bestsellers on here. :)

My offering is The Devil's Fan Club if you think it might be your kind of thing.

All the very best,

Mark

Hi Just Readin. I was reading profiles to see who might want to read my book and came a cross your page. I don't often find someone as new as you on this site, welcome aboard.

This may be a little premature because you're not set up yet and I don't know what you like, so let me just make you aware of my book: A PLACE IN LIFE. It's literary fiction about the life of a boy told through a series of catastrophic events and failed relationships. When you have a chance I'd appreciate it very much if you'd take a look at a chapter or two and let me know what you think. Also remember, if it doesn't come up to your standards, all you have to do is stop reading - no strings.

In any event, many thanks for your time.

Old Bob
A PLACE IN LIFE
