Golly good golly, that's jolly good!! <br /><br />I'll definitely have to read your debut novel, now that I know that's the kind of writing to expect. <br /><br />I've been so swamped with my upcoming debut, I haven't had time to read other authors I want to read. And I am so sick of reading my own work for the gazillionth time during the editing process that I truly want to puke. Ugh!<br /><br />Yes, this is a great start to another novel for you, Melissa. You should definitely consider it your next WIP.Demetria Foster Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877677300606033348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589035973172290745.post-59323893514768311892014-07-17T12:08:14.409-05:002014-07-17T12:08:14.409-05:00Awesome job!

Loved the whiskey voice and 80 proof eyes. Very well done. I think you should file this under WIP. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10092074709852502322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589035973172290745.post-25297140508426905502014-07-16T09:57:13.536-05:002014-07-16T09:57:13.536-05:00Be still my beating heart!
