 | TELL ME A SECRET | Ann Everett | Novel | Romance | 19 | n/a | Oct 26, 2012 |
Summary:This is a story I wrote a long time ago and about two years ago, I re-wrote it and posted it here. Well, they say third times charm, so we'll see. I'm rewriting it again. It was lousy the first time around. The second time, I improved it a little. This time, I hope I've improved it more. I'd really like to get it good enough for publication. Those of you who read it the first time, don't feel obligated to read again unless you just want to. Also, if you do review this time around, please DO NOT refer to the original ending as I don't want my new readers to know where the story is going.
I took all your advice to heart. I've changed a lot about the story. I've added many new chapters and it has a different ending.
The story plot remains the same. College smart girl, Maggie Fielding, begins to tutor jock playboy, Jace Sloan, and they realize opposites do attract. Begins as a sweet love story, but gets steamy later on.Chapters: |

 | LOST IN TRANSITION | Lost Soul | Novel | Humor | 1 | n/a | Oct 4, 2011 |
Summary:Lost In Transition is the story about relationships. It is the story of a non traditional family whose Father is in the process of gender transformation to become a woman, while his wife is becoming a man. Caught in between is a precocious 13yr old girl who cannot stand either of them. Believe it or not, this story is based on a true life family in Wyoming. It is a tragic story in reality, but I have chosen to lighten it up and it is largely a sarcastic comedy told from the POV of the teen daughter Christye.
My primary concern here is that Christye sounds like and acts like her age, and not that of a man of any age. I would like to know if my story is compelling. If it hooks you, what hooked you? What works and what doesn't?
If you would like to edit as well, I would be happy to learn from you. Hopefully it won't be too much of a mess.
This is my attempt to return to the group after a long absence, and I appreciate any and all readers.
Cheers,
Lost SoulChapters: |
