I get hurt feelings over reviews. I SO get it. We bare our souls, we put S...

A gripping, multi-layered pageturner, Hunted draws the reader into the world of a reviled underclass - in this case anyone with paranormal or telepathic abilities - and examines the fear of living in a world of extreme societal prejudice. Although...

"Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation."

This book is amazing. The portrayal of the struggles of Kendra are so painfully real, so alive. It's well written and has a lot of meaning in it. The author really did an amazing job with this story. I think what makes it such a good read is that...

Skyler wrote: "Its all right and thank you I entered the one on goodreads :)"Good! You can enter both, though, you know; then you have double the chances. All you have to do is leave a comment on my blog post.
Skyler wrote: "how do you enter for the chance to win the autographed copy of scars"Skyler, you should see a button to press that says "enter to win" on this page:
http://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...
You can also enter for more chances at a signed copy (and a $10 Amazon gift card) on my blog here:

I'm sorry; I should have thought to mention it! I forget that people like autographed copies. I hope you enter, and good luck!

Skyler wrote: "i talked to my librarian and she has Scars avalible to checkout and she read and said that she really enjoyed it"Skyler, thanks so much for checking with your librarian; that's fantastic! (beaming) Every bit of getting the word out there helps a book. I'm glad she had it already, glad she enjoyed it! And...I don't know if I asked you already, but would you be willing to write a short review or even a few sentences saying what you liked, and put it on Amazon and GoodReads? It really does make a difference in getting the word out. But please don't feel you have to! Only if you want to.
take good care,
Cheryl

Thank you so much, Skyler, for letting me know; I really appreciate it! I'm so glad you liked Scars! It was important to me to have Kendra being happy being queer (and in a good relationship). I think we need a lot more books like that.
I have another novel coming out this October called HUNTED. It's a paranormal fantasy about Cassie, a telepath on the run from government troopers who must choose whether to save herself or to save the world. She's not queer, but another important character (one of her friends) is. You can read more about it here: http://wp.me/p1yz4O-RP if you'd like to. I hope you'll check it out when it comes out. :)
Take good care,
Cheryl
