Beneath The Trees of Bent Water

Confident, assured and exceedingly competent prose make Beneath the Trees at Bent Water a delight to read. The opening paragraph has a wealth of revelation about the narrator and all in 'show' mode as opposed to 'tell'. The style unfailingly initiates and maintains a rapport with the reader and we know we will be 'party' to some heavy duty confidences. Well rounded the uploaded segment feels like a complete short story in itself and leaves the reader wanting more of the same. With this high quality start I feel sure that the wish relevant to Abby Lee and front bookshelves will be fulfilled. BACKED. Robert Davidson. The Tuzla Run

I think you're the first person to catch this! The main character purposely doesn't have a name. What do you think about that? Too much (or, in this case, too little)?

Backed Beneath the Trees of Bent Water. A lot of mystery shrouds the disappearance of the girl’s father. By the way, did I miss something? What is the main character’s name? Great dialogue. We’re reading more.

You have finely crafted a most interesting storyline. I do like your choice to use the first person narrative voice and your use of short paragraphs and crisp, well written dialogue keeps the pace of your story flowing well. All of this and your descriptive writing makes your work a pleasure to read. Backed.

Creepy, ,sharp, good dialogue and a clear ending. backed with pleasure,

Hi Abby,

I love a short story done well, especially a creepy short story. I was hooked! Even the fact that you don't really find out how Jake has that hold over her at the end makes it all that much better. Very well written. Backed.

I like the way you built both the story and the characters, can't wait to read more. backed E.Loraine Royal Blood Chronicles book one

Abby, I loved your story. You have crafted a story full of incredible description. I felt the dialogue was appropriate and well developed. Chapter one is strong and I felt a sense of ease—well done my friend.

Believable dialogue, evocative writing matched with strong imagery a wonderful sense of teenage angst. Well done

I wish I could write short stories but I write like I talk - a lot. I like the dialouge its well placed and believable. Your pitch could do with a little work its your area to sell yourself and make the reader want to buy. Your content is excellent and I think you are a tallented writer. A little tweek here and there and youve nailed it.

Good story, but needs some work as you point out in your pitch. Your writing is very good, and your voice is unique so I am backing you. Backed.

Hope you will read mine and if you like it back it.

Abby: I do like that shot pitch. But the long pitch really needs some work. These pitches are the way you sell your story to the casual readers. Perfecting your pitches is how you climb in ranking to gather more exposure and comments to better your novel. With that said you can edit your pitches and make them better. But the writing is good so I am SHELVING you.

Though I have been a very active member for over a year, I can still use your comments on my book when you get the chance. Every little bit helps. Cheers!

This is a good story. Your narrator is a good character; likable and sympathetic. Any young adult who has ever had to move (and that's a lot of them) will be able to relate to her and enjoy reading her story. You have a nice ominous tone built into this that suggests spooky things are going to happen. Makes this a good read. I'm adding this to my shelf. Burgio (Grain of Salt).

This is a good read. Your craftmanship bring the charcters to life and compells us to move foward as you spin the tale that is so inchanting. C W

Hi Just read some of your work and look forward to some more when I have time. Good luck! RB

Dear Abby, I love your darling story. :) Your blurb is good because it prepared me to read your book. Your story is good because you create interest by having short paragraphs & lots of dialogue, which makes me want to keep reading to find out what's going to happen next. I'm backing/commenting on your book to help it advance. Could you please return the favor by taking a moment to back/comment on my TWO books, "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not" & the unedited version? "Tell Me True Love Stories." Thanks, Susie :)
