I bought Wings a few weeks ago and fell in love with it and have been reading your blog from the beginning. I REALLY REALLY hope that this book gets published because The Scarlet Pimpernel is one of my all-time favorite stories! And since you like singing and musicals, I hope you are familiar with the musical version of that story. Douglas Sills has the most amazingly exquisite tenor voice I have ever heard!~* Jessica *~https://www.blogger.com/profile/01049374840482489525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27889919.post-90559064305297157322008-03-05T11:36:00.000-07:002008-03-05T11:36:00.000-07:00Found this at just the right time.

I read a very helpful comment that you made about trilogies on Kristin Nelson's blog. I clicked on the link to your blog and lo and behold, I find the very thing I have been searching for! I just spent the last two hours reading over your entire blog. It's fabulous. :)<BR/>I am a stay at home mom myself, a BYU grad, living in Columbus Ohio and writing . . . well, completing my first novel. It's a YA Fantasy trilogy, and I am very excited about the project. I have been hungry to meet fellow writers/moms with which to share advice and support, and learn what I need to know about the industry. Reading over your blog, I have already found great stuff. <BR/>So, keep up the blog. I'll be reading. And, as a matter of fact, you've inspired me to start my own writing blog. :)<BR/>-ReneeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27889919.post-77945459983925632282008-01-22T07:05:00.000-07:002008-01-22T07:05:00.000-07:00Great post, Aprilynne! :*)Great post, Aprilynne! :*)Tyhitia Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14070000168178880911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27889919.post-46658326450436592852008-01-22T06:33:00.000-07:002008-01-22T06:33:00.000-07:00I agree.Great post.Now...what's a doula?:)I agree.<BR/><BR/>Great post.<BR/><BR/>Now...what's a doula?<BR/><BR/>:)David L.

I will. :-) Keep up the blog. :-) *elizabethElizabeth Byler Yountshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05063220668900409811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27889919.post-51432954906027149462008-01-19T20:30:00.000-07:002008-01-19T20:30:00.000-07:00That was really helpful.

I got all my advice before from someone who is used to pitching adult books; I wasn't taking into account that the agents I am looking for represent an entirely different market.
