I'd just like to say that I was astounded when Ellen said how much she enjoyed my story. I like it quite a lot too, my children and my beta reader loved it, and deep down I know it's got something special, but I'd received so many critical comments about it's unsuitability for YA that I was beginning to think that it would never get into print. Ellen saw what so many others didn't, and for that I will be eternally grateful. My attitude towards, blogging, facebooking and the social media has changed drastically since I signed with Euterpe. Now I see it as a means to an end, not a time-waster. I haven't started the editing process yet, but I trust Ellen and Susan to guide my book safely into port.
