Well done. I'm hooked!
ReplyDeleteI totally want to know what happens!

ReplyDeleteHooking and I'd read on.

ReplyDeleteYes. This sounds strong and promising. Nice job. ;]
ReplyDeleteHooked!

ReplyDeleteWho is saying turn around? The MC or his/her fellow job candidate?

ReplyDeleteOkay, Dusty Muffin, if you insist. :)
ReplyDeleteOn my blog, there's a link on the right-hand side to "Go Small or Go Home". The first chapter of the book can be found at that link, and I'd love feedback!
And I'm sorry I lost you, fairchild, and thanks for the comments from several others on polishing suggestions.
