Go Lynne! I agree with you about going the Kindle way. I’ve been lucky enough to get beyond the slush pile with, Foxden Acres, three times now.

Perhaps like the first agent, the office manager has forgotten to post the ‘no’ letter. Or, like the second, the ‘no’ email went into the junk folder to be lost forever.

Facebook and Blog to share, so we can all buy it. x
