It's very true that the heavy background isn't necessary. I think as long as the conflict rings true to the reader then the cause isn't the issue. It's the believability. :-D<br /><br />Can't wait to get a hold of Mira's book...my TBR is frightening...Maiseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852983445607331991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428924548127436782.post-70757062008077781742010-04-06T04:53:03.409-07:002010-04-06T04:53:03.409-07:00I'm still reading Mira Lyn Kelly's debut a...I'm still reading Mira Lyn Kelly's debut and it's smokin' hot!

Your writing is fresh, vibrant and special, and I KNOW you're going to absolutely nail those revisions. <br /><br />Sigh. I really, really want an e-reader...but I'm with Mel.

WoW!! Huge thanks to you for the incredible compliments on the book. Since I've been exactly where you are struggling with all the revisions (including dreadful plot device elimination), you can imagine how much it means to me to hear all the hard work paid off.

I absolutely loved Lucy King's debut, and am looking forward to this one after your great review!<br /><br />But it looks like there is still two months to go before even Book Depository has it :( <br /><br />I read a good Sweet today - the Housekeeper's Happy Ever After by Fiona Harper. It did have the really sad backstory for the heroine's conflict - her husband and daughter were killed in a car accident four years earlier. I think both can work - tragic pasts or more "everyday" conflicts. Generally I prefer the "lighter" conflicts, but Fiona Harper's book made me cry, it was really beautful.Leah Ashtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07541640223609201519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428924548127436782.post-83835642528532925302010-04-05T05:45:04.420-07:002010-04-05T05:45:04.420-07:00It's really divine Joanne!
