I'm a wife and mom of six children. I love to read, so welcome almost any requests. I also love to write and have written several books already, though I am still on the road toward being published.

My book is completed, just not completely uploaded to the site yet.

I am looking to publish, so I welcome any honest feedback about it. If you like it, tell me. If you don't like it, tell me, but tell me why. I'd like the chance to revisit and see if its something I agree should be changed.

It would be awesome if some readers could start at chapter 4 or later and give me some comments there as well. Only if you have the time. :)

Please know that I appreciate all comments I've gotten.

....................................................................................................

Please don't ask me to read erotica or excessive profanity. Thank you.

The picture for my new book cover is one I took myself.

KerryAnne and her friends solve mysteries at Bible college

KerryAnne Dawson is a journalist, or she will be someday if she can just get through Bible college. Studying's not the problem, the college is a great place to be - it's just the mysteries that seem to follow her around sometimes get in the way.

Maybe she's too nosy, like her mom says, or she meddles too much like her friends say. KerryAnne prefers to think of herself as being blessed with 'hyper-observationalism.'

Whatever anyone else thinks of KerryAnne, there's never a lack of excitement wherever she goes.

She and her best friend Angie are embarking on their freshman year at Laketown Bible College with a plan to concentrate only on academics. Sounds like a good plan....but nothing is ever that easy.

Jaiyl is all secrets and fear, Van has nothing to hide, nothing to fear. Together they must fight for the freedom of those they love.

Jaiyl grew up alone and afraid, feeling the emotions of everyone around her as if they were her own. Being part of a nomadic tribe meant she came in contact with many different people, but was connected to none of them, until she met a family that was different; people who knew God in a way she had never thought possible.

She must come to trust God, or doom the world.

……..
Van knew there was an entire world out there beyond his mountains, but he could never quite bring himself to get up and go see it. Then someone from out there came to him. He gets thrown into a fight he didn’t start, with a people who don’t want to be found, yet have immense power. He has to figure out what really conquers all, before it’s too late.

Her secret could doom the world. His honesty could save it.

Just reading the first little bit of the beginning - you need to draw your reader in to the people themselves. Right now you describe feelings, sounds, a little bit of the physical surrounding - but almost nothing about the people. Make your reader care that the people are frightened. Let them ex... view book

Couple things I noticed in the first chapter: In your first paragraph you say 'although we were not what you may term well off...' which implies that a statement about wealth will be made next - but the rest of your sentence is about your pets instead. Instances like this are going to make your ... view book

Hi, Thank you for asking for comments. I would also appreciate any comments you might have about my book, in return. .........................

Sounds like an interesting story and I'll be reading more. :) Just as a quick note - in the beginning of both chapter 1 and chapter 2 you use "he", "him", or "his" quite a few times in close proximity. This is something I tend to do as well, so it stuck out for me. I suggest you go back and lo... view book
