Angela, you rock!! After your critique on CC of Star-Crossed Rascals, I published with a POD publisher. I've sold quite a few paperbacks already. It's also in two of our local libraries and local school libraries. So far, the kids love it. I've also sold many copies to elderly people in my mother's retirement village.

I'm so glad you told me to mean up the great aunt. Can't wait to see what you suggest next.

Thanks. *Hugs*; January 24, 2011 at 7:02 PM

For some reason when I click on your "email" it opens in the wrong program for me, so I don't know your actual email address. Can you send me an email - laurapauling@yahoo.com. And then I can respond to you. Sorry.

Thanks. Laura; January 25, 2011 at 8:57 AM

Thanks everyone for the congrats! It's always fun to give out prizes--I wish I had the time to give out more critiques because I know sometimes fresh eyes can make all the difference.

Remember, if you see your name here and I've contacted you on a blog, twitter, etc, please use the email listed in my blogger profile so we can start trading emails and I can get you your prize!
