Hey everybody! I am sending my newest novel off to my editor this week and once he's through I would like to see if I can recruit anyone to preview it and give me some opinions. As an author it's important to me to know what the people who might buy the book have to say about it. It will be with the editor for a couple of weeks, so there is time to consider this and get back to me. The novel is Red Carpet Virgins and it's my consideration that it falls into the romantic comedy genre. Once complete, I will make as many copies as necessary and mail them via the post office to anyone interested. If you're interested, email me with your name and address, and I'll shoot a copy off to you. I understand security on the web and I will provide you with all my contact information as well. I appreciate anyones interest in this, and if there are any questions please feel free to email me and I'll do my best to answer them.

I forgot! As payment for your opinions, once the book hit's print (I already have a publisher who's interested and wants the book back after the editor's done) I'll send you an autographed copy.
(Ok, maybe that's not exciting if the author isn't Stephen King, Anne Rice or Danielle Steele, but I could be.... soon)

You guys rock! I'll consider you the official Addicted to Madsen opinion panel! BTW I forgot to add on the initial request for readers, I also have a cd I created to accompany the book. Consider it a soundtrack of sorts. It contains all the music that inspired me during the writing of the book and I'll also include a cd for you to keep with the manuscript (you can keep that too, no need to send anything back actually). It's in sequential order with certain parts of the book and there are some really great songs on it. Just an extra added incentive - like a free gift just for trying it out. Jeez, I'm starting to sound like an informercial - I better quit while you guys are still interested.

Okey Dokey guys, the book has been sent to the editor today and hopefully, in about three weeks I'll have it back to make copies for you guys and get them sent. I am glad to be done with this portion of it.

Ok guys, for all who were interested, I'm getting a bit worried about my editor. He's in Florida and I haven't heard a thing from him since the beginning of last week. I'm hoping he didn't get hit too hard by Charlie, but I'm don't know anything yet. I even sent an email asking him if he was ok, but I think power outages are pretty significant throughout the state, keep your fingers crossed he's ok and keep him in your prayers.

Yeah, FL got hit pretty hard. A lady I work w/ has a lot of family down there, so far she's heard from everybody but her brother-in-law. I'll keep my fingers crossed that everything's ok!

Still nothing, but I'm optimistic that the power is out. After looking at the location of his town, it seemed to be right in line with the storm, but wasn't near some of the areas that were the hardest hit.

Yeah, I've heard there are like millions of people w/out power so he probably just doesn't have a way to get in touch w/ you. I'll still keep my fingers crossed though.

Amazingly enough my editor contacted me last night and said that his area was missed by the eye of the storm. His power flickered once and then he had no problems otherwise. He'd just been busy and hadn't been online much. (Editing the book I hope ) I was very thankful for him because after seeing the devastation Florida suffered, anything could have happened.
