It’s not easy being magic-less in a magical world…fortunately not all jobs require the ability to enchant.
Amy is carving a name for herself as a world class snoop. Want dirt on the governor’s daughter? Amy’s got it covered. Information on the Duke’s enemies? Fees apply. Facts on the Stronghold Assassins? Well, no. You’ll have to hire a hero for that.
Unfortunately, investigating the Stronghold is exactly what the handsome Invoker Bernard wants her to do. Amy has very little choice but to accept his case, but there’s evidence that Bernard may mean more harm than good to Eberhard. Can Amy figure out the truth before it’s too late, or will she be destroyed by these two new powerful enemies? Find out by reading Uninvoked.

Very Cool
Thanks. ^^
This is a really great introduction. I’m really looking forward to tackling the next couple chapters.
This is a powerful introduction. It grabs the reader’s attention and is very powerful.
There is a great bit of teh characters and hwo that makes me want to continue.
Aww, thank you! I took a query writing class not too long ago, and after critiqueing the teachers critique got a really helpful and thorough response. (His first response was something like, “This is great! You just might want to fix…” Then when I told him I thought it was awful and why, he gave me a real critique. Go figure eh? The class really helped me boil a story down to just a couple of paragraphs without adding too much or too little.
Thank you for your comment Rebecca, I’m surprised you found the time to drop by. It seems everyone is glued to your blog right now, waiting for the next installment of, “Are you really a writer?”
I hope you do continue reading Uninvoked. I’m looking forward to seeing your thoughts. ^^
I read this, and I heard in my head, the sound of a old time typewriter clacking away and the energetic music of a old black and white announcer reel.
I don’t know if that’s what you intended, but I rather enjoyed the ambiance.
It never once occurred to me someone would think of the tone quite that way, but looking at it with fresh eyes I can see your point easily. It has a somewhat old-fashioned mood to it, which I personally like. ^^ It could be worse. It could be written completely in haiku.
wow that was a great intro. i think i’m going to have to start reading this story now. it’s intriguing.
It’s not fair…I couldn’t find your coffee stash.
You seem to be doing well with your manuscript, I wish you luck!
Wow! This is a great intro! You are a quite a good writer. Thanks for all of your wonderful blog comments!
I like! I like! I like! I have a bit of catching up to do, but I’m definitely following this one. Amy sounds like a cool girl
She can be. I’m not sure where she came from as a main character though, since she’s everything most heroes aren’t. She can’t even handle your basic pen knife as a weapon. (As you will see in coming chapters. I have the most hilarious fight scene ever. ^^)
Not a problem, I enjoy your blog. ^^
Wow, I’m liking this!
can you email me?

It’s about the critique group thingy from my blog.
You can also check out my writer’s help blog http://giveagirlapen.com/
I’m glad you like it. I checked the rest of your site more thoroughly, and I don’t qualify. It specified adult romance, I only write YA. -.-
I am intrigued. I’m definitely going to read this.
I wanted to thank you for stopping by my meager site, and so I came by to check yours out. I must say, this sounds like a fascinating premise for a story, even though the genre isn’t something I normally read (fantasy, magic, etc.).
I read through things pretty slowly, but expect a comment or two from me every once and a while as I pick my way through your story in my free time.
Yay, this looks exciting. And so much nearer than the library.
I’m glad I found your website. I was looking for something original (and found it here).
Your novel seems like a very intriguing and intelligent story. I’m looking forward to reading it.
(Hope you don’t mind but, I’ve added your site to my ‘blogroll’.)
Thank you for your feedback, also!
I am really glad you feel that way. ^^ Thanks so much for stopping by.
I am totally hooked… I love magic, fantasy, and most of all… a unique heroine! Being magic-less in a magic world is a brilliant premise and I look forward to reading Chap. 1.
Thank you again for your kind comments on my Little Writer blog…

No problem April, I loved your blog. ^^

Ooooooo. This looks very interesting. What a brilliant idea for a blog! And the story looks quite intriguing! *bookmark*
Really interesting concept for a blog! Love it
Love it!

@ Ingrid – Thank you so much. ^^
@ Blu – Yay! Thanks for bookmarking!!
@ The Leaves of Tarkong – I enjoy your blog, and I’m glad you enjoy mine. ^^
Intriguing….It might take me a while to catch up. Is this an ongoing fantasy you’re writing?
This is pretty interesting. Im apart of a website called openbooksociety.com and we are a group of people that love discussing supernatural books. Im sure you would fit in great. If you want to come check it out that would be great!
love this idea and the site is beautiful
i hope i can stop by and read some more 
Thanks for passing by mine. I have to say this is amazing! Off to check out the rest.
Fantastic!!!
I love the story and the pictures!
Thanks so much for stopping by mine. I am admitting to curiosity being the reason I came but I am bookmarking this for sure so that I can come back and read the rest. The intro sounds fabulous! *grin*
Reply from Uninvoked Author: The intro is a lot better than it used to be. I took a query letter class, and part of it was learning how to summarize the novel. It took me a long time to convince the teacher I wanted harsh critiques, not just a pat on the back and a few simple changes.
You definitely know how to hook someone. I’ll be back when I’m awake enough to start in!
Reply from Uninvoked Author: Every author loves that sort of compliment! Go get yourself a nice cup of coffee and come on back for more. ^^
Dear Anonymous Author aka Uninvoked.
Thanks very much for your useful and helpful comment that you left on my own little writing blog. I’m grateful you took the time to give me feedback and I will try out the highlighter test you mentioned. Although I must ask if you further explain what you meants by a perfect ‘ly’ word and one that would need deleting or editing?
Sadly despite me having a degree in English Studies grammar and punctuation have always been my weakest points. Just didn’t learn enough about them when I was a child.
Anyway just thought I’d drop a friendly writerly hello, say thank you for noting and taking time with my work. I will add your blog to my Bloggers list and have a go at reading your work now. Your site looks awesome by the way. Wish mine was so professional.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Reply from Uninvoked Author: I loved your work, and I hope that many people click on your name here, or at the bottom of the intro page, and go read your fabulous story. As for the website–I’d love to take credit for it, but it’s just an awesome layout called Arras theme which you can get for yourself very easily. ^^
As for the suggestions I made, I purposefully did not tell you which adverbs I liked, and which ones I didn’t. The reason for this is I didn’t want my personal opinion to interfere with your work. I could do a line by line on your story, and tell you how each and every line would look if I wrote it, but then it would be my voice, and a piece of your writing would be lost. Trust your heart when evaluating each word. In the end you’ll know what to do.
