As I said before already you made me curious about your book in describing here on MR how much and which kind of work you put into it. and I still insist on my opinion that its worth to be put on the same quality shelf, people put their Asimovs on.
And since I liked said remark in the review above:
For the record:
I don't know neither David nor someone of his people personally.
Noone paid me or slept with me for writing the text above, or previous recommendations.
I just damn LIKE THAT BOOK.

Hi Freeshadow,
Thankyou for that - though the pitch is what you write down to convince a book publisher to look at your book. In a few words, you have to make the story sound interesting enough that they will read the first page.
There's another name for what's on the back cover and I can't remember it, but I don't write either up all that well.
Unfortunately, both are important to the publishing and marketing process.
Spock96, I hadn't realized I had missed sending a response to you. I've sent one through. Though I should point out that I'm still only just starting on the next story.
Regards
David
