Well, that made me feel good. Blushing maybe even. It was some work to stick with the first person vibe, but it felt right for me. I was trying to make the reader feel as much like the protagonist as possible. Thanks for the kind words.

On a side note the free period is over and the book is back up to a dollar. It seemed pretty successful. Now Im just waiting patiently for reviews lol. Thank you for trying Michael, it appears in order to review you have to have bought something through Amazon before. Its their way of making sure people don't just create accounts in order to review their own stuff.
