Hi!

I'm writing my first book, a Christian Speculative novel. I'm on about my 4th draft. It's been beta read and critiqued, but I really want to partner up with another writer to fine tune it. In turn, I hope to do the same for my partner. Really hoping for a long-term writing buddy.

Peace,

Maria

Oops! I thought I'd read through the <Please Read> at the top but it was only the first para! Bearing that in mind, please see the following details:

About my manuscript -

Title: THE LAW OF REFLECTION

Genre: Christian mystery/thriller with soft sci-fi and supernatural elements

Audience: Adult (There is no gratuitous violence or sex, but it touches on topics not appropriate for children.)

One Sentence Blurb: Erzsi Green tries to figure out how a stranger she saw commit suicide could've kept notes on her and twenty-four other people.

Language Notes: This is written in English but the story is set in Jamaica, so for realism the dialogue contains a sprinkling of Jamaican Patois. It's very dialled down, though, so shouldn't be hard to understand.

About me -

The Last Book I Read and Loved: Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

Currently Reading: The Art of Losing Yourself by Katie Ganshert (Loving it!)

The Book That Best Epitomises Me As a Reader: Not sure maybe The Chrysalids by John Wyndam
