Dear Patio,

Your voice is strong, your message; loud and clear. I like it. Simple truth. The way it is written is provocative and endearing. It could be a movie...(long term goal?) Stick to your guns and the way you communicate. It's yours and its fantastically different because of this. Dont change it, the right publisher will come along who appreciates your style.

Best regards,

Hi Sandra,

First, thank you SO MUCH for backing Animal Cracker. Your support means a lot to me right now, as I try to stay on the desk till the end of the month.

Yours is a very unusual work. I'll confess it's not the sort of thing I read, but I was glad to have the opportunity to experience something so special.

I don't feel qualified to address the content, so I'll stick to the writing, which is overall very good.

You get a lot of momentum going right from the start. We can palpably feel her fear, although I did find the first paragraph overly long.

I am a big believer in the writer's maxim "show, don't tell," and I found some "telling." for example, you don't need to say "I am petrified and running for my life," and in fact, I think that statement takes the reader out of the running in fear experience. You "showed" us her fear very powerfully - no need to "tell" us too. Another example of telling - describing the neighborhood as having an "upbeat atmosphere" really doesn't say much. How about "the neighborhood had a funky charm, with boutiques selling inexpensive jewelry, comfortable coffee shops, and mid-priced Italian restaurants." And I wanted to know about those phone calls! Were they sexual? Threatening bodily harm? If you want us to know why they're so afraid, you need to show us.

Some of your imagery is terrific. I especially liked "legs like lead jelly."

I also found some odd word choices and grammatical errors. These slow the reader down, and take her out of the story, and you don't want that. "selection" of languages isn't quite the right word "comprising" the red and white dress, and "placated" each other are two more. And I saw breath instead of breathe.

I think you're a skilled writer, and I hope you can make this as strong possible. I wish I could be more helpful with other aspects of the book, but it's beyond my ken.

Thanks for considering Animal Cracker. And of course I wish you tons of good luck with your work.

Regards,
Andi Brown

This crime thriller engages you from the very first page. It is well written in an authentic fashion that realises intent as you go along. A good book to take to the beach on a summer holiday. Entertaining with a gripping ensemble of characters. Realistic with good 'read some-morish' storyline. Backed. Good luck with publication Elijah. Would like to see this in the book stores. All the best. Ariel. view book
