I think one of the best things for anyone chasing a dream is to hear of the experiences of others, primarily to learn there isn't just one way to achieve the dream.

It's got a lot of humor. I love the cover, but I realized too late that it makes some people expect Raymond Chandler noir. It's more like Dorothy Parker meets Agatha Christie.Anne R.

I sure hope you like the books. Gatsby is funny, too, although it's not quite as farcical as Food. <br /><br />The funniest one of all--Ghostwriters in the Sky--will be out next week. I just found out! It's set at a Z-list writers conference where bogus agents fleece writers, (but they get their revenge.)I'll be giving a copy away free in a Halloween contest.<br /><br />Draven--Nathan holds contests for guest posts about once a year. I entered the contest and got one of five places. Eric of Pimp my Novel started as a guest blogger for Nathan, too, I think. And I met super-editor Victoria Mixon when she was a guest. Nathan's blog is a wonderful hub for the writing community.Anne R. Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02420000168356370825noreply@blogger.com
