My Story Reviewed

by secretarytocapt3

I offered my story up to review to a harsh (but she is the best) critic.

It was like dangling a baby seal in front of a great white shark.

Check it out...

You can read other reviews she has given.

Mrs. G is really really really hard to impress.

What is neato is that it is compared to the
http://www.dragonsdisciple.com series which is generating alot of buzz
in the e-book biz.

To learn more about the story please visit:

http://www.silapajarun.com (click on Ono Suzue to go to a detailed site
on the entire novel)

The entire novel (100K words) was truly written for the fan of the
Bakumatsu and Meiji Era and it was researched to give that authentic
touch. Only book 1 is up for sale right now.

Books 2-5 will cost a mere $3.00 because Book 2 is a bit
more "literary" and has a taboo e-pubs will not touch but the rest will
fulfill your mxm, mxf and mxmxf needs and thrilling plot requirements.
(the last 4 books is being edited by me T_T)

You'll be surprised by what is completely -true- in this story. In
other words I wrote it for everyone here
::points at SHQ SPY DIVISION members list::

There is -no- way to place this story anywhere in the e-pub world.

I put alot of thought into the character of Fujita Goro (I spelled
GOrou in the story) and he is an interesting figure throughout the
novel and he'll surprise you.

Where does your $1.25 go? The quarter is Lulu's fee.

First the $$$ goes to feed Shinsen-turtle seen here:

XD

Most importantly, some of the weird research I do is unfortunately not
free (T_T). Like for example I had to send alot of material to Japan
this week and my communication may or may not answer some questions I
have. Serious we all know stuff FROM Japan was pricey, but sending
material TO Japan is costly as well. It was a frivolous cost but it
was a path I had to pursue (the usual shot in the dark) any researcher
would have to take.

Maybe in the future we can all team up and write the mega-awesome
Shinsengumi yaoi story and use it as a small fundraiser for SHQ? Like
edit it to DEATH, and sell it for a $1???

The review sounded good to me, though I'm terrible about giving or
reading reviews. I know some authors thrive on the stuff, but I'm
not an author, nor a writer, for that matter. But I read your review
since it was on the thread and I just happen to love your rabbit
story. In fact I bought it from lulu earlier this morning and look
forward to the rest.

I have to agree with the review... That story deserves to be picked
up by a publisher that can do it right by exposure!
