As I have been exploring self-publishing a a novel I edited (written by Myra Love), I found it helpful to hear about your process releasing your early fiction on the web. It's easy in some ways and yet not trivial. In any event, we have published a novel and have another in the pipeline. I wonder if you would consider reading either or both and writing a review (of any length. Just a line or two we could quote would be fantastic). <br /><br />A quick description. I like to say Other People's Dreams opens with a suspicious death, includes a daughter's struggle with her aging father, but is mainly the story of Virginia and Leticia, the lives they've chosen, and how they react when circumstances bring them together again years after their high school romance had ended in a storm. It's a pretty quick read (not aspiring to be literature). The novel yet to be published is My Life as a Poet. I think of the main character as Harriet the Spy in high school. Minerva has little to say to her classmates and parents and plenty to say about them. Through her best friend who is gay, Minerva finds her way into the gay community in Philadelphia in the 1980's. Her experiences give her a new perspective on just about everything. <br /><br />I hope to hear from you. If you agree, please let me know how to share the manuscripts with you.<br /><br />Sincerely, <br />Martha Merson<br />martha.merson@gmail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774271185051091802noreply@blogger.com
