about me
You could check out my website (see link below.) While here, I hope you enjoy a gripping adventure that can be read on many levels.
Authonomy is a treasure trove. A generous place too, with some very unique people who give genuine feedback, mostly :) I'm a better writer for it.
Only half of my novel is on line, and the chapters do not reflect changes I made, like moving the beginning (prologue) to another place. The story is however complete at nearly 120 000 words. I'm forever editing and have not sent out queries. I can be contacted at: ashenv@aol.com
The pitch here was recently changed, and I am hungry for feedback.
CoM made the E-Desk in February 2011 and since then I received a Harper Collins review on 10 000 words with helpful advice. The sequel in progress loops into the future - both a Science of the Heart and a Science Fiction.
Here an interview that appeared on the authonomy blog:

The books I like here would make a long list, so I mention only one - on my bookshelf on and off - deeply touching and original ... 'Last Days of the Transitional Objects Institute' by Andrea Levine.
Many thanks to Bradley Wind, for transforming my Atlantic image into mystery :)
