That doesn't surprize me. Sorry if I'm acting like I'm in the bar when I'm not. Here I have a real question for you folks.
Describe the main differences between crime fiction and an action adventure story.
Presently I do not have a husband. He is married to someone else instead. I still need him but the two of made mistakes and had attitudes that caused things to come to this. I am offended that I have not having a better time as a single woman but ma…
Nice comment. The other feature is the idea of "making luck". I suffer from bizarre pangs of guilt when I see that half the trouble is that I didn't marry a more experienced author or professional editor or make sure my beaux/husband would double as…
Yes, especially since I also live in Indy.
Way to get us started!
This applies to all 3 of the previous posts. The industry standard minimum full length book is 65,000 words which at 250 words/page = 200 pages.
If you want to write shorter long works then there's a bunch of stuff on e like that.
You would need that packaged with at least one or two other stories. Who's that guy...there's a precedent...I mean you could pack that with one to three other stories and get a solid book. Call back and ask if they do any collections or anthologies…

- Ayo & Suzanne: can you both read these?...Thank you for your comments. I wrote the novel for a general fiction market not as a niche traditional crime story.
Do you feel this is inapproriate for crimespace? This is new territory for me.

- I can't really answer your question. It doesn't sound like my preferred type of book, so I'd have to know more about it. I'm kind of a purist when it comes to crime and detection. I like some kind of resolution on the side of justice.

- Hi Miriam,
I am afraid that that I will only review proof copies of books. I have had too many problems where unpublished authors have not liked my comments regarding their books so now I have found that it is safer if the book is sent via the publisher.

- About Me:
- What really matters for you is whether or not I've written great stories or can I network with you. My intentions are to have a rich- as in full like cream with love & experiences with others life, and to write a bunch of really good novels and other stories & even at least one work of philosophy that not only gets published but makes me a financially well off fully functional adult.

- Books And Authors I Like:
- "I don't even know anymore"...Oh, wait, that isn't even true...For the past few months I've been earning by writing for an online company called BookRags, and reading a bunch of great books. A lot of them have been philosophy with some psychology and military strategy...Its OK that its actually nonfiction; but I have fairies and dragons deep into layers of 'wishing it were true but its not' psychology...I like a lot of authors and have fond memories of people like Ursula K Le Guin, and really all the women and men who wrote powerful SF & F books...was that Dune, or Narnia, or the planet Pern or some otherwise unknown author's third SF book or whoever wrote that...that was good...I mean reading is one of those drug free highs...when it's really deep fiction...I want to be a popular author; I want to be write great stuff, be well paid and people now and then will check my name on the binding so they know where to more of that kind of writing from...
- Movies And TV Shows I Like:
- Most recent film: Iron Man, because I used to read the comic book now and then even though I'm a girl
I'll love the Indiana Jones Film
I loved the Tolkein re-make films
If it's SF or has elves and is done with a decent staff and whatnot I am
going to love it...Star Trek movies...stuff like that...
