    Introduction of the author/Submission of works for review

    I suppose I should begin by stating I have a very deep passion for

    writing. As a writer, you know that this can be an all-consuming thing; asit is for me. My goal is to submit, initially, three novels I have been

    working on or have in completion over the last few years. All three are

    very diverse from one another, but their similarity is that they all have

    crossover appeal. I will be submitting each one over the next few weeks,

    with a brief overture/introduction/dedication/preface. I would encourage

    everyone to read this before reading the first chapter I submit. I think it

    will give you greater understanding about each work as it is presented. If

    there is enough feedback and you would like to see more, I will submitfurther chapters, one chapter at a time, up to the first five chapters.

    The reason for me submitting all three works is to judge

    reasonableness on publication. I also would greatly encourage your honest

    feedback as it is of great value to me regarding the readers wants and

    desires. I realize works are very subjective, and one persons opinion is as

    valid as the next, but I am looking for trending opinions and to just see

    where this will go

    The first of which is as follows:

    A Dairys House The novel is based in the mountains of North

    Carolina just after the civil war. It relates the life of a young boy (Landon

    Hampshire) growing in his youth trying to become a young man, who

    discovers a diary, ancient by his terms, nearly forty years old. Through

    this diary he discovers the generations of life, the bounty of love, what

    true love really means, and the rekindling of lost love. The diary is of a

    young woman who lived during the times of the Trail of Tears, how she

    fell in love with a young Cherokee boy, the troubles and trials that thiswould present, and the endurance of love throughout all times. The story

    crossover appeal is of romance, adventure, some magical allure, and of

    course, the beauty of this enchanting world I personally have grown to

    love and admire.

    The second comes from a personal story about our family. I

    anticipate having this up within the next week (theintroduction/dedication/first chapter). It has already been published under

    a different name, but I decided to give it new breath with a more

    simplistic titling:
