Holland: !! Your books sound AMAZING! I want to read them quite badly.

They sound so like thought-out (of course, after 8 or 9 books I’d hope it would be!) =]. I really hope you get published ASAP.

Talitha: Wow! Your books really sound good, I would definitely read them. Your descriptions make them sound absolutely wonderful, if you ever get published, I will most assuredly get my hands on a copy.

I really like how you have them spanning over the years, so it’s kind of like the same…but not. Sorry, I don’t really know how to describe it.

Anyway, please, even if you get turned down by a publisher or something, just keep on trying. Stephenie Meyer was turned down a lot, now look where she is, her book has been made into a movie.

Liz: Your books sound really good, and they are exactly the type of books that I am into reading. I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy!

Ali: Wow! Your books sound amazing! They sound just like the kind of books I love to read. I hope you can get published. Never give up, you are obviously a great writer.

Sara: Where can i read your full books?? :-)

Cassandra: Yes, read again and again. Even when you read the full books, you’ll still want to read it again and again! That’s how amazing all this is, it will never get old. Ever. Elenot forever!

Karen: that was amazing, if that book was published I would so definately buy it.

Kelly: I love it! You have the potentily to get that beautiful piece of art published… Love it!

Rachel G: Hey Maddie!!! I’m sooo excited for you and your books. I really hope to read the second one soon!!! Getting Published would be an AMAZING thing for you… Your book are a lot better than some that I’ve read. Thats saying a lot since i read everything i can get my hands on!!

Adria: I love the first chapter. I want to read more on The Silvercatcher. I love Keeri. I like her name too. ^ ^

R: This book sounds so good. I can’t wait to walk into a bookstore and find it on the shelf!

Shadia: I’ve been reading your book, “Silvercatcher.” I like the story, it’s not full of grammatical errors, nice sentence flow. And — most of all — the idea is original! I enjoy it immensely! Looking forward to reading more~

Shilpa: I love the second chapter. When Keeri finally meets Arnic. I can’t wait to read more. The story is really interesting. If it were to be published I would so buy it. ^_^

Elizabeth: I like the sounds of this book. I will be looking forword to reading it. I’m pretty sure it’ll get published! Jsut let everyone know when you do.

Brandy Williams: I LOVED IT!!! I am sure you already know this, but you are very very talented. This is original. One thing I hate is reading an excerpt when you can tell it was based off of something else like Twilight(seems to have become popular), Lord of the Rings, etc. However, this is all your own. I love it, and I hope it gets published because I can’t wait to read the rest!!

Cassandra: Sava! Quite ambitious :) I can’t wait to see him grow up!

Courtney: I’m so excited that you’ve added Savarik: Book Two already! It makes me so anxious to read them from your descriptions, as always! : )

Shilpa: I love the story about Keeri. I can’t wait to read more. By the way does Arnic like Keeri. ^ ^ I was wondering how did you come up with their names.

Cassandra: “Teetering on the verge between being a child with few responsibilities and being an adult who must face not only the frightening concept of war and death but also love…” LOVE LOVE LOVE that! Oh Sava, how I cannot wait to truly meet you <3

Sarah: Pretty nice post. I just came across your site and wanted to say
that I have really enjoyed browsing your posts. In any case
I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again soon!

Chelsea Ann: you are probably very much like me…I’m only thirteen and have finished two novels (both over 400 pages) and thank you for inspiring me to write even more! Your books sound great and its great to hear that someone is dedicated to a world as much as an adult. when did you start to write? because, to me, it sounds so amazing that you’ve even gone this far :)

J.F.: Hi I was wondering if your book Silvercatcher is for sale? I’m really interested in it and would really love to read it.

Courtney: Has it really been a year already?! Wow. Happy one year! I’m glad this site has helped you spread your amazing work to other people! and, using your own words, please keep “plowing!” : )

Randall Roberson: If you are trying to get your work published, I have done some research on this agency with the BBB returning an A+. Eaton Literary Agency has submission guidelines on their site. You might also check out http://www.turnerpublishing.com they accept submissions directly from the author; submission guidelines on their site as well. BBB score A+. Good luck.

Bea: Wow… I wish I could get my hands on a copy! Your descriptions are well written, and leave you hungering for more, and yet they are only a few sentences long! Good work!

Stephen: This is the first thing of yours I’ve read. An acquaintance sent me the link. My eyes have glanced none of your novels. Yet, the timbre of this piece reminds me of the fellowship of outcasts. Not that I’m attempting some type of sociological analysis to suggest that all dejected writers find resonance or a reflection of writerself in another’s work, though that’s probably true; I did at first start to criticize, to attempt to say something about you saying nothing, if only to myself, and if only out of envy. For I am also a writer, though of a different strain: short story writing. I liked the current and emotion that your words strived like a starving artist to let flow. I recognized the theme of frustration with the craft. You are talented. However, etude deceives. This is not an etude. Musicians get together and jam, each playing their own, in their own way, for the sake of jubilant playing. Writers don’t always have the benefit of feeling good, especially in a jam. You wrote in the elude about feeling like you’re saying nothing with your novels and of a stream that is crystal clear only because it is empty. Out in the cold, huddled around that stream, in mostly torn windbreakers and a few wool coats, are the other writers who feel the same way, all journaling, writing, obsessing, wretching, and vomiting their hearts out onto paper or screen because they feel like nothing is being said, not realizing that the music created from this pain composes itself into an opus and a concert that may not change the world, but will provide the soundtrack for revolution. Your writing makes people want to read. Pay attention in a digital age. Find awe in your words, awe that blue-ray and terrorism strive and fail to reach; the awful destruction and cinamatic Gollum are not human. Your writing, at least in this elude jam, screams and dances and flails about like a punk-rock angel swinging through the sky. Your writing makes people want to read again and again and again. That is an accomplishment far more advanced than getting published, or even Oprah’s stamp of book approval. You’re an inspiration. Get used to fan mail.
