Re: Manuscript Critique
It started out as a short story, a dare almost. Someone in one of my FB writer’s groups said that people should write what they know. I wanted to write what I don’t know… about riding horses. So I researched until I knew enough about the topic and started my story. But it took on a life of its own and next thing I know, it’s novel length. Now I just need someone to critique it. 🙂
Jennifer Hayward
Amazing! I used to ride and wrote a Harlequin Presents set in Kentucky horse country. That’s fantastic you finished a full length novel. Congrats! And Merry Christmas. xx
Pammie R.

Her Cooper’s Charm and participation in Tails Of Love are favorites. Lynsay Sands is a favorite for her historical romances. I have read a couple her paranormal books, My Immortal Highlander and Highland Thirst. I have more of each on my TBR shelves. I am currently reading Noel, Alabama by Susan Sands and thoroughly enjoying it. Debbie Macomber is a longtime favorite and I have read many of her books. Head over Heels For The Holidays by Jennifer Bernard sounds good. She is a new to me author. I am familiar with Michelle Major’s books but have not yet read any.
