5/5/13: Hey, I don't want to beg, but I am currently posting 'edited' chapters to the Spiralcase.

PLEASE. PLEASE, PLEASE let me know if you see any typos, grammar errors, story inconsistencies etc.

Also, I would very much like to know how much OR how little you like the story. I am considering taking the next step to possibly trying to publish (I have corresponded with a few publishers already -nothing concrete on my end), and I need some feedback on whether or not I should bother.

I plan to keep posting, I just need to know if this is good enough.

-thanks lovelies ;-)

3/7/13: Hola! As some followers may have noticed, I decided to scrap it all and start over. I apologize for any irritation/inconvenience my actions caused. Hope you like the edits :-)

I grew up in the Midwest, but moved to the East Coast after graduating from college years ago. I am married to a part-time musician, but also have many friends and acquaintances that are full time professional music folk, (you may have heard of a couple of them). I'm a sucker for a great live show and cannot stand not hearing music all of the time. I love to write and get lost in thought. Please let me know what you think of my first full-length novel attempt. This story has been in the back of my mind brewing for many years. Thanks :-)

(I starting writing the Winding Spiralcase in the Spring of 2009 and now multiple revisions later, I am ready to share my work. I welcome any input and hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed creating it. This is an extremely long novel so I am considering breaking it up into two or possibly three separate books. Please share your thoughts/ideas -Thank you.)

I love you all! Feel free to message me anytime, I LOVE hearing from everyone.

peace & love,

Mag :-)

*PS

If you happen to be in the Omaha, NE area, some of my friends just bought a cool little dive bar there and they have great live music from all over, (last time I visited a band from Austin, TX played). Anyway, its call O'Leavers -so go there if you're in the neighborhood.
