We've been excited by the response to our Open Membership. However, we are no longer accepting new introductions. If you sent in a sample of your work (any maybe also the sample critique) you will be hearing from Thomas within the next couple of days.
If you missed this chance, we might have some news that will interest you. Please visit this blog the first few days in April for more information.

From the book description:
As the daughter of a fortune-telling mother and a scam artist father, Spring Ryan wants nothing more than to leave her past behind, fall in love, and live a nice, normal life. But the Universe had other plans.
For starters, the man Spring fell in love with, Trevor Donnelly, has disappeared off the face of the earth. To make matters worse her mother Lanie, an eccentric nudist, moves in ‘just until she’s done with menopause’, and her boss, Kimberly, has asked her to escort a life-sized condom around town to promote teen abstinence.See more at Amazon.com
