Anyone who's interested is welcome to see what it's all about. Here's the URL address. http://loveandromance-tashabud.blogspot.com/ The gist of the story is about a woman, with strong traditional values, who succombs to infidelity. The story will tell of the whys and hows. It tells about her emotional, physical, and mental struggles. It tells about what happened and what will eventually happen in the end. There will be lots of twists and turns along the way to keep the readers' interest. This may sound like a not so interesting story, but I can't be too specific on line, for it will give away the novel's secret formula, which the readers will have to dig and explore for themselves. The beginning of the story is not the ending scene, even if it leads the reader to believe that. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Anyone who’s interested is welcome to see what it’s all about.

And as you say, it's a good way to get feedback and engage with readers. We are great believers in the power of the Internet for writers and our most recent signing was in part because of that writer's online fans. So the short answer is that this CAN be a good route -- but like most things in publishing, it depends...
