Once we have a good look at the proof copy, we make whatever corrections we need to, and it’s time to hit the green light! I want to get some pre-launch reviews, so, if you have some time on your hands, I’d surely appreciate anyone who could read my book, and prepare a review – the word total for the three stories is around 46,000 – please leave a comment if you’re interested. Thanks so much 🙂
1. “Do Unto Others” (short story) – Jeremy is a street hood, lawless and unchained. When he is wronged by a local businessman, it becomes his mission to seek revenge. But his new enemy has friends – ones that don’t take kindly to intruders.
2. “Colors” (short story) – Harrison Street. attorney, biker wannabe, coward. When he finds the bike of his dreams, it seems too good to be true. It is.
3. “Simona Says” (novella) – Simona has had it rough. Death, disenchantment, and disappointment are all part of her life. She wants to be happy for a change, and she’s willing to do just about anything to find some. Anything.

When is the launch? I’m buried in promised reviews and edits through most of August, but could make myself available in late August (you can email her on: jaqdhawkins@yahoo.com)
Thanks Chris…I responded to her…see what happens 🙂
Thomas, am I living in some alternate reality? The first link still goes to HBO, the second to Wikipedia about Harrison Smith, and there’s no link on the third. I will say this again, I am more than happy to help, and quite eager to read your stories, but why am I not getting any help finding them. You can email me at jatwood4 -at- comcast.net.
Hi Judith….I don’t have it ready to review yet. I’m simply gathering some wiling folks together for when I do 🙂 My publisher is sending a proof copy now, and once I go over it and we agree to a final draft, then we’ll be ready to get it reviewed. Patience, my friend 🙂
I’m sorry — I misunderstood. I thought you had people reading it now. I am sorry to be such a whiny little kid! Thank you for YOUR patience! 😎
No worries, Judith…I appreciate your tenacity. I hope everyone else is as anxious to read it 🙂
I am sure they will be!
