What a great first chapter! Definitely hooked me! :)
Thanks, Cyndi! I think first chapters are fun to write. Challenging, but fun.

Sounds great; can't wait to read it! Just ordered used copies of your New Heights series....missed them when published, and ladies in church library (where I have placed all your books I've read) are anxious to read other (and all) books by you!!! Happy New Year!
You too, Jel! Jackie, thanks for passing my books along!
I think it is sad that so much emphasis is put on the first chapter by so many. Much of that has to do with that being one of the first things a literary agent sees. So, I get it, but I've heard of readers skipping the first chapter of books because they know the story doesn't start will chapter two. The more I write novels, the more I'm convinced that though the first chapter and indeed, all the chapters are important it is actually the ending of the book that is the most important. It really isn't that hard to write a good first chapter, but the weight of the whole book rests on the ending.
