I would want the first in a magazine description, but the second on a book cover.Chrystophhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16070076115443171135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32085591.post-16627381878856870312011-09-29T05:29:25.970-05:002011-09-29T05:29:25.970-05:00Thank you for those!

Best of luck with the non-novel writing.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08095360915510688240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32085591.post-61004168286511771812011-09-28T17:11:54.603-05:002011-09-28T17:11:54.603-05:00"darkened world of the mythical past" ki..."darkened world of the mythical past" kicks the backside of "a world that never was".<br /><br />From the first version I LOVE "Now, Aral's living on the edge of disaster in the city of Tien, a jack of the shadow trades, working in the darkness while he tries to find his way back to the light."<br /><br />Far more intriguing than "The Fallen Blade books follow Aral's adventures as he and Triss try to find a new cause."<br /><br />"Jack of the shadow trades" is also a win over "the shadow jack business."<br /><br />Go wyrdsmith that :)Adele Kirbyhttp://www.adelekirby.comnoreply@blogger.com
