I started on Karen Cantwell's "foxy tales." Y'all may remember I really loved her "Take the Monkeys and Run" -- a cozy mystery/romance/chick-lit/caper kind of thing. Anyway, she co-wrote this with an author whose last name is...really long and hard to pronounce so I won't try to type it here. Foxy Tales is written in...third person, present tense. I'm having a lot of trouble getting into it because of that. Maybe I'm just not experimental enough, but I'm not getting why it was written that way. It doesn't add to the storyline and it's not fast-paced enough to feel like it's got to be present tense.
I've read some first person, present tense (but even those use it sparingly) and it works to good effect (I thought.)
So I don't know if I'll finish this one either.
