Re: What are you reading now?
Recently finished Red Country by Joe Abercrombie. Brilliant book that combines the Wild West with medieval fantasy.

Query - Supernatural Thriller for Adults
Hi, I'm looking for some feedback on my blurb (or what I like to call a "written teaser trailer") for a yet untitled (three years and still no title definitive title...) adult supernatural thriller. "An Angel with no memory. An ex soldier who can't let go. A patient at a mental health...

Re: Looking for UF/Paranormal fan to trade 1st 50 pgs
I'm happy to read through the first ten thousand or so words if you're still looking for feedback. I'm still editing my first story, which is a supernatural thriller that is aimed for adults (profanity, drug use, violence, dark and unpleasant imagery) and would like to exchange the first few thousan...

I agree with the changes Kristie has suggested. The main point I love about this excerpt is the fact that you made me instantly feel as if Finch is instantly the bad guy, but then do a 180 and make Ross seem like she has an air of 'asshattedness' where she's playing everything too much to the book. ...

It's aimed for adults and contains language that some might find offensive. Enjoy, and all pointers will be appreciated. Thanks. Chapter One Sheppard was bleeding. He couldn...

Re: Page 1 of "I am Alone"
My 2 cents: 1) I liked the quick sentencing; too the point, neat and short. 2) Rags? As in head and shoulders/ghillie suit? I thought he was in a building; ghillies aren't that good in urban areas and it'd be hard to get rid of them quickly. Ghillie suits are also heavy and hot as buggery; something...

Re: What's your editing style?
I've never even thought about printing it off and then penning my thoughts down in red...
It'll make it easier. I usually get my laptop out, make a pot of tea and put a film on for some distraction every ten minutes or so.
