Hey!! I need 20 more responses to my What's In A Name? survey to have 100 - a good sample size I think.

This is for the GotYa blog post that I'll have up on May 5.

Have you been locked in a death match with your manuscript? Edits have been driving me crazy lately so I thought I'd have some fun this week. Come see how to tame the Manuscript BEAST!

My teaser has potty-trained werewolves in it. You may wonder if there are any other kinds, but let me reassure you, there are.
