A new work to tease from! Hallelujah! This is the opening of Chapter One of a new work – uncut and unedited. Working title: INTERIOR OF THE HEART. I’d love to know what you think!
I love this. I want to know what she’s logging onto facebook to see!! And I love the name Quinn. The way you build her world is great, I can already feel the kind of household she grew up in, the way it changed, and the one she lives in now.
This was great, Corrine! You’ve done an excellent job describing her background in an almost Desperate Housewive narrative fashion, which is a compliment. I loved the world building right from the get go!
Love this, Corrine! As someone else mentioned, fabulous characterization, and written so tightly! I already have a great sense of her upbringing and history, and you presented it in a thoroughly compelling way.
You describe Quinn’s mother perfectly. And the first sentence was very hooking and this snip overall was well-written. I look forward to reading more. ^_^

I like it! It tells a lot about the character, just from talking about her parents.

You are a tease– nice cliffhanger there!

This is amazing. There is so much description and so much going on “under the hood,” so to speak. I felt like I was reading an actual book, not a WIP.

Cliffie was great and the description you gave for Quinn’s mother was brilliant. Backstory with the perfect amount of description.
