Love Carol's advice, and note that it can carry over to all types of professions, not just writing! Always keep trying and persevere--that's exactly what I teach my son when something doesn't go as planned for him :)<br /><br />Email: hmbryan(at)alumni(dot)duke(dot)eduHolly Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281574165037823036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-44099447956183257222015-10-19T13:37:11.698-04:002015-10-19T13:37:11.698-04:00Oh my goodness, I think this might be the most int...Oh my goodness, I think this might be the most interesting sounding book I've come across in a long time. I will definitely have to add this to my TBR. And wow, thirteen years is a long time, and it's really impressive that Carol stuck with it that long. I'm so glad her efforts finally paid off. <br /><br />Thanks for the giveaway!

I always wonder how much of the original story remains, though I'm sure it varies from book to book and from one editor/publisher to the next.

I got this creepy sad feeling while I was there, turned out my mother-in-law had a heart attack. I'm one of those weird people who believes if you are close to someone you can feel connected to them. I'd love to win a copy of Carol's book. I will tweet and facebook about the giveaway. Wishing you many many sales my friend!Sharon K.
