And, follow you...Thanks for the shout out, Sharon.<br /><br />And, follow your heart. I can't tell you how many people/editors/agents/conf. workers told me not to write historical. Said it wouldn't sell.<br /><br />well, I'm glad I didn't listen to that part of it. If you write a great novel - it will sell. There is always room in the market for these things.Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10014195715998913268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8449147139519589668.post-70017293764462958142009-12-03T07:50:16.651-06:002009-12-03T07:50:16.651-06:00YEAH AMY!

I did what I thought was a picture book version of the story, but my friends (both published, about to be published and talented critique group members) all thought it was a scene in a MG novel. They said it was my best writing yet.Sharon K.

Well done Sharon. Sounds like fun, I hope it goes well.<br /><br />Now, I know what period in history your novel is set I think it 's going to be a great success. If it is set around World War II, then there is still a strong market for this genre. I am actually interviewing people at the moment for a social history project that Pumpkin Press is involved in and the period is around 1940. It's completely fascinating. Ye, I remember, you have strong connections with this period. I think your book will be brilliant.Sharon McPhersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15568442958046594336noreply@blogger.com
