We’ve been compiling a list of common mistakes and errors which tend to grate our nerves while reading books, and also turns us off when we are considering books for possible reviews. Since I only recently started sending out rejection letters, I thought it was important to let authors know common reasons why their book might get rejected for a review outside of just being a theme we aren’t interested in reviewing at this time. While this is NOT a list of set-in-stone guidelines used to determine who gets reviewed and who doesn’t, we hope this list will at least help future authors polish their book for publication.

A severe headache woke me from my dreams. I dabbed at my tongue with my fingers, thinking I tasted copper. Maybe it was just the wine we’d had with supper—but wait— Lorraine and I had not shared a bottle of wine in years. I sat up in bed and for several seconds I did not know where I was. I did not recognize the aging beautiful woman sleeping soundly beside me. She was nuzzled into my arm like she knew me. I pulled myself from her grasp, threw back the sheets, and put my feet on the floor. My sudden movement woke her.
