Carol, thank you for this strong support! I thank you for all comments you’ve given me, since you are one of my beta readers for Wild Conviction!

I am so excited about Wild Convictions! It definitely has its place in the literary genre of historical fiction. Mary has embodied the ambiance of this adverse time in the south and provides the reader with a compelling story.

Seán, thank you for adding to the discussion of Wild Conviction with your kind comment and recommendation of my writing. You are a talented writer and exceptional literary critic, and I was fortunate to have you review my poetry! I hope you will review my novel Wild Conviction when it is published!

Hi Readers of Wild Conviction!

Have you received GrandMama’s "actual" letter to Twilight yet? Inside the letter holds magic!

Because of a very difficult time in my life the last few months, I am behind on sending GrandMama’s "actual" letter to Twilight to those who pre-ordered (and want the letter).

But I am catching up now. I just want to remind you to be careful when you open the letter--inside holds magic!!

If you have not pre-ordered and want this letter, you can still pre-order today! The contest for publication and my pre-order campaign ends tonight.

The letter is Chapter 3 of the novel, and is not posted on my Inkshares page. But Chapters 1, 2, 4 and 5 are posted. So you can see in aspects of those chapters things that relate to the letter...if you haven’t read those chapters yet, go to READ on my Inkshares page for Wild Conviction:

https://www.inkshares.com/books/wild-conviction

You can pre-order on that page, too.

If you want to add to the great discussion with a comment or to review or to recommend or to nominate (those options do not require a pre-order), you will need to log in. But please do so today, before the contest ends.

Thank you!! Mary -- and Twilight and GrandMama

I am a huge Mary Dezember fan, dating back to the mid-1990s, when I reviewed her poetry audio-chapbook of astounding poetry. The novel we have the opportunity to support here is another reflection of her versatility, a compelling story laced with Mary’s poetic sensibilities. I want this book in my hands!

Wonderful Poet Dale! Thank you for all of your great support on my novel Wild Conviction! The novel has several lyrical passages, and also searching always for the "exact" word, as we poets do, I think makes it a stronger read.

Wishing you much success and many new readings, Mary! I’ve been a fan of your poetry for years and am delighted to see you writing in this genre.
