Well.... I was told this piece reminds them of Daniel Steele

My goal was to sound like Daniel Steele from chapter 2 to 6. Once I get into the plot this book is far from Daniel Steele. Of course, Daniel Steele is a wonderful romance writer. I take this as a strong compliment!!!!!




Hey Anita,

When you read more of GOD, I was just wondering if you can tell me how the story touched you. Like what was your emotional reaction to it?

It's just that I think literature is, above all else, art, and in my opinion, the main purpose of art is to touch people in some way or another. I just kinda want to know how the expression of my ideas touches other people.

Anyway, with yours, I thought of Daniel Steele and the Liz I knew.

With mine, there are a whole lot of metaphors and double entendras that I don't expect every reader to get. Regardless, I most readers will get a lot of the punchlines. I'm trying to go for a very classic kind of vibe too. Sort of like 1950's and 60's corporate America when everybody was optimistic about the promise of the future and blind consumerism prevailed.

Anyway, I'll send you a friend request. Hope all is well.

Peace, Jessie
