Hi Bobby,

Once again you have made some very viable points and I want you to know that your comments and critique is not bouncing off deaf ears. I am taking notes and keeping track of all your very impressive points.
I just don't know how to thank you enough for doing this for me.
I was rushed a bit by my publisher. I had a deadline and perhaps that is where you see a bit of the 'rush' to finish. I worked day and night and slept very little at the end. Thought I wished I would have had more time I did what I could to appease my publisher.
I am glad to hear that you are enjoying the read. And I know your points are valid. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Your eternally grateful friend,
Di

Hi Di!

Please dont thank me. It is a PLEASURE to do this for you. I am VERY much enjoying reading the story, especially now, since I have made almost all the critiques I could make. I am about 65% through the book and I am LOVING the book. You really set up some nice surprises and shocks. I love the characters. I love the narrative and the excitement of the story. Even though I mentioned that there may be improvements, that is because I am a perfectionist and I always will find fault in something. I understand that the reality of publishing books has not been friendly to you and that is why I wanted to hold back criticism on the little rushing of the book. I knew there was a legitimate reason why because you are too smart and too intelligent to not want to work to the best of your abilities. Anyways I will post anything else I think relevant to your novel. But so far, i have slowed down my critique, and am just enjoying the ride!!!

Respectfully yours,
bobby
