Review of Laurel

Laurel by [Mathey-Horn, Helen]


Being new to the ‘getting published’ part of getting published, it is gratifying if others find your story worth reading.  So my thanks to Jeyran Main for reviewing Laurel.   I feel she did a good job of describing what I was trying to write to in this book.  I did not start out to pen a ‘saga’ of the difficulties of single women in the 1820-1830’s, but when I wanted my character to try and escape her situation, that kind of happened.  Ms. Main mentions, it is “so historically exact to its time that the reader faces slangs from that time as well.”  I’m happy she feels it is historically exact.   I worked on the research in hopes of not making any terrible errors.


Wonder if I should apologize for the slangs?  I tried to put is some, but not too much.  Like any ‘jargon’ one can go overboard and lose the reader, but with none do you lose the flavor of the ‘time’?


So this is a thank you and a plug.


Thank you, Ms. Main for review the book.
