Most of my friends know I’m working on this project and so far, my boyfriend and a few friends have read it. I’m pretty secretive about it because writing about gay pirates is, well, not something I think my work colleagues or my grandmother needs to know about. But I’ve discussed the project with a lot of friends and I’ve received great and highly valuable feedback from the ones who have read it. One of my friends deserves a medal for reading this book far too many times, including the atrocious first manuscript that was beyond horrible – and she’s still enthusiastic about it and encourages me to carry on! I wish every writer could have a reader and friend as supportive as that. ❤
