I love the cover of your second book and the premise is indeed interesting. Those internal struggles - often in situations were it is not easy to follow the truth - are indeed gripping. All the best for your new venture.

You're so right that we all struggle with temptation in different ways, but the trick is to convey those struggles in an engaging way that doesn't sound preachy. <br /><br />Congratulations on the publication of your novel. It sounds like a really interesting premise and I hope it does really well.<br /><br />Take care<br /><br />NolaNola Passmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08425394685430146759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-83716992993849938522015-05-18T10:53:41.571+10:002015-05-18T10:53:41.571+10:00My fingers can't spell.

The boys in my family have introduced many straight action/survival stories to our household,but who can beat the fascination of something being played out within a character's psyche and soul?Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.com
