SUGAR RUSH Gets Its Second Amazon Review!

Thanks, MightyJesse!   Sugar Rush at Amazon  You're right about my problem with description.  It was like pulling wisdom teeth to get me to write the descriptions I did.  My theory is it's my visual imagination.  I can 'see' it all in my head.  Putting what I 'see' into words is crossing a major threshold for me.  If only my readers were telepathic!  I can see it, why can't you?  Ugh.  I'll work on it. 
.
Oh, the scientific details thing.  I introduced several that I haven't followed through with yet.  Plus, Ophelia isn't correct about everything, just as a regular human.  Throw in alien science and she's off on several things. (P.S. This is good news for readers who loved Brandon, especially.)  Notice she never got the chance to analyze Martin's DNA or even ask her mother, or she would've known the hair wouldn't work.  Figuring this all out for the next book is making my brain want to explode.  I have a posterboard on my wall and I jot little details on it.  What if I forget something?  What if I figure out one thing, but mix it up with another thing?  I also have notebooks filling up.  It's mind-boggling the things an author has to learn about while writing a novel.  For example, can you rig up a salad shooter to be battery operated?  What are the ocean currents like between Seward and Juneau, Alaska in January?  Can I have my alien-human hybrids 'farm' diabetics by turning non-diabetics into diabetics?  Eeew!
.
At this point, I can only tell you one thing.

Never go against an author in a game of Trivial Pursuit.
