I've started the first one and find the beginning slow and boring compared to the type of writing I've read coming across critique screens for ACFW. I can't fairly say how the book will be yet, since I've only started the first one. <BR/><BR/>I'm tired of reading what happened in the past, and I want to read more contemporary settings in present day, but most publishers don't seem interested in them. If I manage to read the three Amish books, I will have had enough of those. The author said she likes to write about them because they live a simple, peaceful life. I want to read about trials of today that people must endure and perserve their faith. I was never much for historical romance, other than Gone with the Wind. I do like Southern antebellum types. You make yours sound interesting though, Cindy. Good luck with it. I hope you find a publisher for your Shades of Crimson, too.<BR/>Blessings,<BR/>BarbB. J.

I...Hi Cynthia,<BR/><BR/>I love the title 'Shades of Crimson'. It just grabs me. I think CBA has come a long way, and we will see more novels that are edgy fiction come out in the future. Like you, I am weary of seeing the same old - same old, Amish fiction, westerns, brides, etc.<BR/><BR/>I have a mindset for historical fiction. I hope someday CBA publishers will put out great fiction that is par-excellent, with the quality of storytelling that holds up against great authors like Bernard Cornwall, Phillipa Gregory, and Elizabeth Chadwick.<BR/><BR/>As far as edgy suspense...they turned you down, yet there are authors that are best-sellers in this genre, such as Ted Dekker.Rita Gerlachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04348571506318182955noreply@blogger.com
