I’ve never read a book by Roxanne St. Claire before but I thought I give her book a try after reading about her on here and the reviews on some of her books at Amazon. I started First You Run yesterday. Sadly to say, the book didn’t hold my interest. I forced myself to read the first half of the book before jumping to the last chapter of the ending. For some reason, Fletch’s character just didn’t appeal to me. I am tempted, though, to follow-up on the next book, Then You Hide, just to see how the next sister story pans out.

She wrote the astronaut book.

Glad they didn’t hold that against you, LOL.

Great story! Thanks for sharing it.

Wow – spend the day at the beach (it’s spring break in FLA, ya know) and miss an outpouring of lurve! Thanks for letting me re-live the thrill of the first time. And, yes, the astronaut lives. I retooled him into a Bullet Catcher for my novella in WHAT YOU CAN’T SEE. Astronaut to bodyguard – a typically career path, don’t you think? (Don’t worry, I *motivated* it.) And, yes, Maya, the lesson is: executive editors remember everything that ever crosses their desks!

Now, back to your regularly scheduled amazon review debacle.

I just finished devoting several hours reading the almost 500 ( and still increasing!! ) comments over the mind-boggling DAM affair in the previous 2 threads and feeling heartsick over the plight of struggling authors caught in the debacle…

Boy did I need a breath of fresh air!

Thank you for sharing with us your wonderful and inspiring First Sale story and restoring my faith in the fact that great things can still happen to intelligent, talented, and eloquent ladies who aspire to be authors…

Now I’m off to search and enjoy your books!!
