about me

My name is Mary. I read everything from romance to military sci-fi, but for me, it's not so much the genre as the characters. I have to be able to hear the voice of the character as I read. I can be reached at mmcdonald64 at gmail . com Or, friend me on Facebook. Mary LeMieux McDonald

2/14/10--If you decide to back my book-- thank you. If you do it without commenting, unfortunately due to recent shenanigans, I can only assume you backed without reading in hopes of getting an automatic return backing. That's not going to happen. So, I will thank you and I may or may not take a look at your book. If I do look at it, and back, there will be a comment that is specific to YOUR book, so that you can be assured I did read it.

Leaving me a message saying you read part of my book and backed it, doesn't count either and will be treated the same as a backing without comment.

It's not fair to the people taking the time to read and give thoughtful comments, only to have their books languish because they are doing the right thing.

I would rather stay here and get a handful of backings and useful comments, than a hundred silent backings. What good would it be to make the desk if when I got there, my book sucked and I didn't know it?

Conflicts of Interest-- After seeing the meteoric rise of this book, I had to take a peek. I'm sorry, but I expected it to be much better. The very first paragraph has an awkward sentence. (hurtled down his pencil). Then there's the part also in the first paragraph where he follows the pencil wit... view book

Beyond Nostalgia-- This is wonderful. First chapter, felt like a cross between The Outsiders, and Wonder Years. Yeah, I know. That's just the closest comparisons I could think of. As I read, I could envision the whole thing. I could almost feel them shiver and experience nervous excitement. In th... view book

Absence Fallacy--- The premise and pitch are good, and I like Terry as a character. I could easily follow him through a story. I do have some suggestions. There were quite a few adverbs. I'm not militant about deleting adverbs, but it wouldn't hurt for you to go through your manuscript and weed... view book

Muckers-- Strong opening, but I was a little confused. I wasn't sure if Claddagh was there against her will or what. The premise of the story is great, and I really settled into the second chapter when I got some backstory. Backing. view book
