I have all Juliet's books that are translated to Portuguese. Her writing is fantastic. I bought her first book by accident. I think it was in 2001, I enter the bookstore and tell to myself: - I don't want to read anything more about reality! I need fantasy! I went to the romance fantasy section and started to look around when I saw sevenwaters series and I thought to myself... a trilogy can't be bad. And I loved it! Since then I never left fantasy reading again. I lent the first sevenwaters books to so many friends (more than 10 for sure) and it's funny cause people who like the first book (and I don't know anyone who doesn't), don't ask me for the second cause they go to the store and buy the first and all the others so they can have their own book at home. And that's because someone said the best 2008 was that Juliet book (I gave it like a present to a friend) :) The sad think is that books in Portugal are very expensive. This Christmas a book price was around 20€ !!! Have you read any of Anne Bishop books? She's also a great writer and she has this unlimited imagination. But the best about her books is that she makes me smile a lot with the funny book characters. Sorry if I’m writing too much but when I start talking about something I like I just don’t shut up! :) Your my first friend in facebook. I'm gona take a look at your facebook so I can also learn how it works. Hi Therese!

(very important word) I think Spanish for you is like French for me. I don’t have any confidence when I try to speak French. I read French emails everyday (I work for a French company ) but if I try to talk I only remember English words. I’ve been in Epcot this last Summer. I miss Orlando, I had a lot of fun there! Well I joined Facebook (new world for me) I didn’t had much time to explore it but I tried to place a photo. Don’t know how people join yet but I think it’s with the mail. (Mine in facebook is doida_por_ti@yahoo.com) :) Well you can start with the word “Chocolate” it’s written the same way! (very important word)

Big congrats to YOU for finishing a manuscript, polishing a manuscript and being ready to look for an agent -- that is no small feat, my friend. I think your question is a great one, and I wonder if you'll let Kath and me tackle it next week for a "From the Mailbox" post? Welcome, Julia, and thank you for your congrats!

I'm an unpublished fiction writer and, after reading all the comments, I have to confess that I'm a bit intimidated by all this. Why? Because I'm unpublished. I have a finished manuscript and I'm preparing to search for an agent....so here's my question for the day: How do I shake the feeling that, without publication, I'm not worthy of promoting? I recently created a blog, but it's almost as if I'm keeping it a secret. I admire how all of you can create great sites and just put yourselves out there. Darnit, I want to do it too! Thanks for reading. Hello everyone,
