My friend who is acting as First Reader for Unexpected called tonight to tell me that he’d finished it, and that it was very entertaining.
He also suggested that I not censor Kiwi, that her language is part of her character.
Our brief conversation (which also discussed the story and the twist I was so proud of) makes me want to read it. Of course, I’m in the middle of a book right now, plus working on Mara’s story, so it might be a little bit. It’s been a few months, though, so I should be far enough removed to be able to find flaws.
I think I’ll print it out in the next few days and add it to my pile!
