I sent a draft of The Brotherhood to one of my beta readers. She wrote me this email back (if only publishers were this enthusiastic!).

Ok. I started the book today. I could not stop. It is your best work to date. This one should be have not trouble getting published. Move forward with this as fast as possible. It had it all romance, danger, and mystery. I loved it.

I’m just a little miffed that you killed (retracted) off. It fit perfectly with the story but I’m a hopeless romantic. I just can’t stop saying how much I loved it. There was a few times the peoples names were off and you even called James Joshen once. I think there was only one line I didn’t quite understand. Other than that I thought it was brilliant, just brilliant.

I have read other books along the same lines as this and I think yours is above and beyond better. Send me more. Not that I have any sway but I would write a letter to whoever and tell them they would be missing out if they didn’t publish this one. Get this on to your agent Now!! I know Becky would love it. I don’t think any of the sex parts are bad if anything it could have been more for me. Just great!! Need I say more.

After all the rejections and all the “nos” it feels good to have a letter like this.
