this is how you do it....
This is how you write to a novelist. I call this my maximum honesty in/maximum honesty in return factor.� Look how much I shared and then how much really good feedback I got. ��I love how she assumes I am a writer.� I grappled with that for a moment but, the reality is�.I am.� I write every day in short and large capacity.

E,
I recently read your novel and really enjoyed it from
beginning to
end.� I was wondering
however, why did Lydia save Michael
from burning up in the car?�
I never tied up that lose end
in my head and thought perhaps I missed something.
In addition your book was one of the first that I�ve ever
highlighted.� I
usually can�t bring myself to deface a book.�
However being a poet by nature I found myself attracted to
your
wonderfully put together sentences.� Did you start out writing
poetry by any chance?�
If not, perhaps you should consider writing
some as your descriptive sentences are very nice.
Thanks for the interesting read.� The ending was rather
disappointing.� Are
you planning a 2nd novel on these characters?�
Will the Dr. mind his wife perhaps having someone elses
child or
was it his?� Are we
to believe that it was his because of her
forgotten diaphragm?
Look forward to hearing your input,
Kristy

Hi!� Thanks so much
for writing!� I love hearing from other
writers
and yes, I did start as a poet.� The reason Lydia saves Michael is
because, in her twisted pathological state, she truly
believes it's
the only way to save her marriage to Simon.� Simon is the only man
she has ever really loved, and she believes he loves
her.� If she
didn't save Michael from death, then it is highly possible
that
Annie would become Simon's mate.� Sorry if that wasn't clear to you.
� The ending is a bit
abrupt, I admit.� When I submitted the
manuscript it was 100 pages longer.� The publishing industry is a
tricky animal and the writer is quite low on the food
chain.� Again,
thanks so much for writing.�
Please let me know where I can read
some of your work!� I would love that.�
All my best wishes to you,
E
