Praise for The Boy From The Next Dimension...

The manuscript has only been online for a little under a month, but my book has been well received - thanks to everyone for the brilliant and helpful comments! Here is what people are saying about my book - it sounds promising...
Di Alcantara - "This is wonderful. The pitch says everything I'm expecting to find in a fantasy YA book! After reading the first chapters, I can tell that you really put your heart and soul into this. Natalie delivers well in the brilliantly-developed character category and so did Erenel. The action is there, the overflowing emotions, and of course the cliffhangers that got me hooked! It's definitely difficult to compete against many YA writers, but I think you have a good shot at it with this book." 
Paul Freeman - "I read the first couple of chapters. It's an engrossing tale, very easy to get into the mind of Natalie, the tense you use makes it feel as if we are following her around with a roving camera. I thought your dialogue was very natural and the story flowed well. I found it interesting how Natalie dealt with discovering the boy, how her beliefs in what is real and what is not are challenged. Good job, I enjoyed the read." 
J. Owen - "The premise is a great, and the spin on ghost / inter-dimensional 'being' provides a very promising plot. I also liked the IM chat section and the way different POV’s are introduced in the latter chapters. The MS is flawless—I didn’t spot any typos—and very well written... In summary; an enchanting story and I really want to know more about Erenel and the Otherworld’s trouble – you tease..." 
Warrick Mayes - "Lovely clean flowing narrative. I didn't really care about the story line, which I'm sure is good, because the little scenes were so pleasing and great fun - especially the brief hunt through the brother's room for the missing hat. Neat hook at the end of the chapter. The dialogue, very real, very believable, helps keep a light mood." 
liberscriptus - "I read what you've got posted, and I think you've got a very interesting premise that leaves the reader asking questions. What is the Otherworld? Why is Natalie in danger? Wonderfully intriguing. The voices with which you write feel authentic and relatable, especially Natalie's. Erenel seems a bit stiffer than the other characters, perhaps because he's such an enigma at this point. I feel like I don't really know who he is - only that he's good-looking and protective."

  2. I agree, to an extent.
    But funnier? Do you really want to open that door?
