GUEST POST WITH AUTHOR JOLENE PERRY, "KNEE DEEP"







Sometimes a story is more personal than you expect it to be.



I read an article in an online newspaper that talked about the YA books coming out that year which dealt with abusive relationships.



I'd part mapped one out a while back, and thought maybe I'd work on it - all evidence that the market had just gotten…

There is a lot of originality in this dark tale. Burrell writes very well, and with a great deal of invention. I can only find any significant fault any in the concentration demanded of the reader. A little more description of each character on first appearance, or an index of characters profiles and key locations, would have helped me. My poor memory, alongside my tendency to skim read, are certainly much of my problem and so I really don't wish to labour the…

His last chance was their only hope.

I am truly interested in helping you!

As a kid my brother had a cherubic face and following puberty this became horrifically deceiving because right below it was a muscular physique with considerable upper body strength and a ‘take no shit from anybody’ attitude.

He has become a wonderful family man who has cut all ties with his past and prefers it be forgotten. I respect his wishes, but only to a certain extent. Meaning, I’ll still tell the story but change the name.

I considered referring to him as Hercules after…

The Kindle Daily Nation sponsorship for DEGENERATES yielded okay results. I was hoping for a few more sales than I actually made, but at least the exposure was good.

Though I did have enough that I’m pretty satisfied a momentum will build over time. I’ve also discovered that posting on Amazon.com…
