I was looking through my old rejection letters from the first time I pitched Adamsville, (then just called THE UNKNOWNS) and it was surprising how I felt after looking at those rejections. I wasn’t saddened by them or upset, or discouraged. I enjoy this book series for myself and have enjoyed making it for myself completely. I will not find this experience to have been a waste. But what was even more encouraging was just the nice things said by the editors. I walked away from those letters excited about the reception I hope this version will find. We shall see. \u00a0The point being though that we all go through failures. \u00a0I don’t know if this book will find the success I would like for it to find, but I do know I won’t let the previous experience keep me from trying again.<\/p>\n

What I thought would be fun is to post the original version of the opening scene of Adamsville. If you haven’t see this yet, I did this in 2008. Much has changed since then. It’s exciting! Enjoy.<\/p>\n
