Hello. How are you? I would appreciate to switch comments and feedback with you! Would you be able to do the same? If you want to read the rest of the book....it is finished and on Kindle and paperback on Amazon.com. Proceeds are going to mental health facilities and burn survivors. Would you support? I am so blessed to be able to help others with my story. I hope I will be able to stop even just one person from doing something drastic like I did. I will put your book on my wl and comment:)God bless!

Bethany.

Could I interest you in taking a look at my novel, Charlie Parker's Corner Of The Prairie? It's a slice of life view of Kansas at the turn of the century complete with tornadoes, horse races and frontier romance. Life and death was cheap, and prejudices could ruin families struggling to eke out a living on an unforgiving prairie.

Any reads will be returned.

Jeremy, thank you so much for backing Jessup and the Teleporter!! I have put your book on my WL to read when I get the time, which may be a bit. I am sooo busy with 2 publishers interested in my writing, and trying to get material to them, and trying to get Jessup ready for the desk here!! Your support is much needed, and much appreciated! Your book sounds very interesting and timely.

Sincerely,
Donna

Good Morning,

I hope you dont mind me asking you, but I am trying to find readers for my book The Bloodline. You dont explicitly state what kind of genre you enjoy reading on your profile, though I do see you a Christian writer, and have a varied number of different genres on your shelf including Ghost City Girl...that one has been on my own shelf for a long time, I loved it! Anyway, if you find the time (with a kid!) and have the inclination Id LOVE it if you could give it a look over, but dont feel you have to. Im a little uncomfortable sending a message like this, but my book is quite close to the top and its dropping...and i dont know why, nor do I know how to get readers other than to ask people kindly if it is something they would like to read! If you think its not for you, or are too busy, I shant be offended, and apologies for sending you an email in that case. I wish you all the best and a good day,

Thanks

Rachel

Hi,
I'm writing to you because you are one of the spotters who actually log in. I am new to Authonomy. I really need some help. I don't know whether my book is any good. I would truly very appreciate it if you could take a look at my book and give me some advice to improve my writing.

Book: Gunpowder
Synopsis: The book is set in 16th century England. It traces a series of true events taken by conspirators to kill the monarch and take the Throne.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Hi Jeremy,
A quick note of sincere thanks for backing my book. I've seen you at or around the top of the talent spotter list since I joined Authonomy. I can only hope your talents haven't failed you on this occasion!
Regards, Alastair

Did you know Jesus did not carry the cross? Elijah did not go straight to heaven on a chariot of fire, Mary Magdalene was not a prostitute, Jesus was not crucified on a Friday, Lucifer was never the devil's name, and the Israelites had more to eat in the wilderness than just manna.

You'll really enjoy poking around in our Bible study book. Let me know if you run across any surprises. Shalom, and the Lord be with, Peter B.

I am done! My book has been edited! Read it, find yourself in my situation, compare your reaction to mine and judge if you must!

What do you do when life is too intense? When bad and good things happen without giving you a break?
When you say to yourself, ok, this is it, now I should be able to have a "normal life".... but you get hit again, and harder. There will be part two of this book, because "It can't always rain..."

Hey man, I'm new today to Authonomy. If you get a chance, please check out my new book. It's entitled "Here We Go 'Round The Mulberry Tree," and the message is about forgiveness. Thanks for your prayerful consideration.

Hi jwillis,

I don't expect you to like my book. Or back my book. What I'd love though, is your visceral Christian reaction to it - not to the writing itself, but to the theme and the ideas it postulates.

Unfortunately, I'm expecting to offend a few people (I really hope people of staunch faith will just smile and move on but I don't think that they all will), so your personal reaction as an intelligent authonomy sharer who has firmly declared their faith would be of interest to me.

You won't have time to read the whole thing - who does? There's a part near the end of chapter 4 and almost the entirety of chapter 6 that would be of key interest to someone like yourself. That will kind of give you the gist of where it goes in terms of theme.

Like I said, this is more about your reaction as a reader to the challenge to faith, than to the writing itself, so be as blunt as you like - I'm kind of using you as my measuring stick, if you will allow me to. I won't be offended and I won't attempt to argue my point and I will completely respect your views and honor your right to say them.
regards,
Liz Keane (To End All Faiths)

I would like to read your Christian Horror novel. i love horror books, but don't have a twisted enough mind to be like Stephen King and like the perfectionist I am, i would kick my self until I was depressed enough to watch ' The Notebook". How far are you along on your novel? Good luck.

I think you've put mostly everybody's childhood predicament really straight. I've only read your description of the book and you've talked of our most intimate and longest struggle with belief about or in the higher powers. All the best!

Hello jwillis2003

In view off your record as authonomy's No 2 talent-spotter, I would be most gratified if you would take a look at my new book The Boy Scully. Fifteen chapters of 30 are now uploaded. The book is set in an alternative version of England where the women have retreated into fortress communities, leaving the men to manage as best they can. Given your strong Christian faith and your feeling that the modern church has strayed away from the core of Christian belief, may I direct you in particular to Chapter 10 (Why Religious Studies?) which is a talk given by an atheist clergyman which acknowledges the radical content of Christ's message while rejecting him and his church as being (for the purposes of the state) insufficiently pragmatic.

I would be glad of any feedback, negative as well as positive.

Best wishes

Alex

Dear J Willis.

I'm wondering if you could take a quick peek at my short story, Time Machine Takeaway.

The first tale is only just over 3000 words so not to heavy.

Thanks for your time

David
