One of my daydreams has been to meet a guy in a supermarket - you have made a story which is so easy to relate to, an easy comfortable funny read. </span></span></em></p> <p><span style="font-size:12px;"></span></p> <p style="line-height:normal;margin:0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';"><span style="font-size:12px;"></span></span></em></p> <p><em><font size="3"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';"><strong><br />Comment from author Lloyd Gordon:<br /></strong></span></span></font></em><em><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';"><span style="font-size:12px;">Being a guy, I sort of hate to admit that I love this! It's all about an every-day girl struggling with emotional issues - a chick-flick on paper. It's very well written in a conversational, easy to relate to narrative in first person that strikes a chord with anyone who remembers the trauma of being single when you're ready to find your soul-mate. I'm thoroughly entertained with the humor of Quinn's predicament and her zany initiative in launching a project to source out a suitable man. I can see Jennifer Anniston playing the lead role when it's made into a movie.</span></span></em></p> <p><span style="font-size:12px;"></span></p> <p style="line-height:normal;margin:0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';"><span style="font-size:12px;"></span></span></em></p> <p><em><font size="3"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';"><strong><br />Comment from Jeannine DeLine and Bobbi L’Huillier, authors of ‘The Long Black Veil’:<br /></strong></span></span></font></em><em><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';"><span style="font-size:12px;">This is a story I wanted to curl up with and savor. I simply, genuinely liked Quinn and her quest for true love in the most mundane but necessary of places. To me, it was a nice parallel to an understanding that real life is more important in long-term relationships than white knights on horses or satin sheets. If you can survive the grocery store together, you can survive anything!</span></span></em></p> <p><span style="font-size:12px;"></span></p> <p style="line-height:normal;margin:0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-size:12px;"><br />Comment from L.J. Trafford, author of ‘Palatine:<br /></span></strong><em><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';"><span style="font-size:12px;">I am not one for chick lit normally but this was thoroughly refreshing. What I like about is your m/c Quinn. I always get annoyed with chick lit for having these heroines who are ditzy and silly despite having great careers. But Quinn isn't like that. She is someone who is touchingly lonely and just wants a partner, to be a unit as she says. And then you go in and tackle all those cliches used in films on how to pick up guys. The flashing of her assets scene I thought was great, in the films the sexy woman draws all eyes but here you show how completely implausible that is in the real world and similarly with her tactic of accidentally dropping something. This made this real and believable. </span></span></em></p> <p><span style="font-size:12px;"></span></p> <p style="line-height:normal;margin:0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><strong><em><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';"><span style="font-size:12px;"></span></span></em></strong></p> <p><font size="3"><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong><em><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';"><br />Comment from James McPherson, author of ‘Lucifer’ and ‘Auld Lang Syne’:<br /></span></em></strong></span></font><em><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';"><span style="font-size:12px;">You've given a whole new meaning to the phrase &quot;Walking Down The Aisle&quot;,<span>  </span>and I fell for Quinn myself, immediately.</span></span></em></p> <p><span style="font-size:12px;"></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify;line-height:normal;margin:0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';"><span style="font-size:12px;"></span></span></em></p> <p><strong><em><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';"><span style="font-size:12px;"><br />Comment from Terri Douglas, author of ‘Without the LCB’ and ‘Brainfog’:<br /></span></span></em></strong><span><em>I<span style="font-size:12px;">t's real, it's funny, it's readable, it's brill.
