I am just now seeing your request to read part of your novel. I am so sorry. My hubby had major surgery in December and have not had time to check out my messages.
I read your summary, prologue and part of the first chapter. While I really like your concept--sounds like a great idea for a thriller--the quality of the translation bothered me. For an American reader, the phrasing is awkward, and even the formatting of the dialog is non-standard. It was hard to get past that to get immersed in the story. I encourage you to get a native English speaker to make another editing pass.

Hi Fernando,
I enjoyed your trailer and reading the prologue and first few pages of the book. Congratulations! I think the trailer is stunning. The prologue and first few pages were chilling and draw the reader in. I think the characters are well developed and the reader should be able to relate to them. All in all, it looks like agreat read. Good luck!

Your book sounds interesting! Keep it up!
Thank you, Fernando. I am currently working on a book trailer for the third novel I will be releasing this year, Mountain Meadows Aftermath.
Fernando,
I'll check it out. In the meantime you might like Noir Nation, a journal of crime fiction I edit. We're always looking for stories and we pay.
