intro to the memoir


Dearest Author of Certain Renown:Sorry I've taken so long in getting back to you. I've read it; it's good, very good. Right on the money. You've nailed the narrative style for this sort of writing.My delay is that I'm taking the liberty of editing it a bit. As an editor I'm slow, very slow.Back to you soon,Peter

my mom's boyfriend Peter, an unemployed architect and yale graduate with time on his hands and literature in his soul, has offered to look at my latest 2 sample chapters for BRIDE OF CHRIST.

it's so good to have some help. i really respect his opinion.

a little background: Bride of Christ is my memoir. Although I've completed the original manuscript, the sample chapters provided to editors thru my agent have gone thru 4 edits. This fourth, i feel, is the one. I think I'm finally getting what they want across without compromising my integrity or losing my voice.

enjoy the cheesy yet perceivedly desirable sensationalist cover i made once upon a time.
