I LOVED Atlanta Nights. A long time ago I had contacted PA with the thought of getting my first novel published. After they accepted it without seeing a word, I felt somewhat suspicious and started sniffing around. My research led me to your project and I found a copy and read it from cover to cover. Great job; hopefully it will help other writers who see PA has some kind, generous uncle in the world of publishing.

AHhahahaha!

This gets more and more funnier each time I reread it, and rereread it.
Hmm, I printed it out for Mike to read to when he gets home from his job he hates alot. He sure will think it’s funny, to, as he reads the words that spill off the pages in front of him like leopards leaping from a jungle print wallpaper in the living room.
Hmm.

For some reason my favorite part is:
“So she reached under her bed and fished out the
gun safe she kept there. She put in her secret code: 6969. No one would ever think of that.”

Well, it’s ONE of my favorite parts!

Hah. You think I don’t mistype words and have to immediately repost? Hah!

And thank you for the “brilliant.” :-)

Oooh, misspelling a simple word on a copy-editor’s LJ. That’ll leave a mark.

There! She thought after she did. Now she wouldn’t be afraid to go to the door
naked.

Like the comapny it keeps, this chapter is brilliant. :)

I’m so happy you noticed! I really like how she has the time to get the gun because she’s worried about being naked, and then retrieve the bullets from her closet but not bother to grab anything to wear. :-)

Authors make mistakes with guns pretty often, though.
