Karey, you should be SO PROUD of this book! Much of the feedback you've already rec'd is along what I was thinking at a couple of points - I'm sorry I'm getting to this a bit later than I planned! I wanted to post this so you wouldn't think I'd forgotten! (I'll be in touch soon!)

I apologize for being so absent. I've been away from the computer (mostly) for over a month, and it's been a much-needed break. My laptop, Spunkie, can no longer get onto the internet. It's sort of like an aging dog that can't walk up stairs any more. Sniff, sniff.
For me, it has meant waiting until I can use my husband's computer--when he's home that is, since he's a university coach who has a busy travel scedule. Next week I should be getting that new computer with my Textnovel prize money! I'm rubbing my hands together. I can't wait.
Also, I've been back in bed for awhile with a physical condition that sneaks up on me every once in awhile when I overdo it. This Read & Rate It event was my marathon. Sometimes just lying in bed is like running a race without going anywhere. Painful, but survivable. I watched about five French movies last week, and am completely caught up on who is in the final 36 for American Idol. Danny Gokey has got my vote. And Lil Rounds. Well, and Norm is too funny. And Matt Giraud. Amazing what several days in bed can do for a soul!
Sorry your health has been down, Karey and I hope you're feeling better.And I can totally relate with the laptop thing. I finally got a new one a couple of weeks ago because my old one was slower than molasses and finally giving up the ghost. I could barely get my writing done.
It's also nice having a monitor that doesn't have lines running through it now:o)

That's good, Tell him your book will be a best seller because of his sacrifice:o)

Well, my husband decided that getting me a new laptop would make my fingers fly, make the words flow, and help me top Stephanie Meyer one day. I still type slow, my thoughts still fog up, and I'm still laughing about the "Twilight Queen" comment. Oh, well, he can dream big enough for both of us:D
Mod
I think I missed that. what would I need to do?

You can connect it to your Twitter page and Facebook page, too. You have 140 characters per post as far as room goes. If you do it, have fun!

Yeah I saw that and thought about giving it a shot, but then I realized that while working two full-time jobs virtually every single update would read, "I'm still at work."

***UPDATE: The deadline is extended to March 16th. Unknowingly, my sister sent an invitation to all her contacts the day before the deadline. 25 more have signed up.
And to the dozens who have read Secret Speakers and given me feedback, your input has been invaluable. Thank you a million times over. Because of your feedback, I'm putting two chapters back in that I took out. They have to do with Axum and Tooli King. Hint: It has to do with the Joust & Dangle.
