		<description>For example Gloria;

"It was a difficult situation but the men in the camp stood closely together as one strong force"
This is an example of simply "telling" the reader what is going on, as opposed to "showing" them and sucking them in.
Cut out the adverb "closely". now what do you do? You still want the reader to know that you are close together, so you could go,
"It was a difficult situation, but the men in the camp all stood shoulder to shoulder as one strong force." 
Same message, but now the reader has something slightly more concrete to envision.</description>

		<description>Miss Tesch has written one of the best and most interesting novels that I have ever had the pleasure to read. Her first printing of MARADONIA and the SEVEN BRIDGES was not properly edited, and it was still a great work of literary art at its finest. This young girl truely has a great talent for writing a good book. Anyone who disagrees with my comments needs to go back and read this book again, this time keep your eyes and your mind open. I haven't seen your 810 page novel out there. Miss Gloria Tesch is a refreshing brath of air in the literary arts. Looking forward to seeing many more of her works of the written word. One more comment; the art work in her books is truely that, ARTWORK, which I believe any GALLERY would be PROUD to have on display, TRUELY BEAUTIFUL WORK. Thank You Gloria and Marina, two true artists in thier fields. Respectfully, Jeff Whitney</description>

		<description>Hey Gloria,

I was wondering if you would be interested in letting me interview you for a writing-advice website - I think it would be an interesting chance for you to tell about the process of writing Maradonia. The site is geared for people of all ages. I'm 15 and I've learned a lot about writing techniques from reading it. If you'd like to participate in this interview, could you please send me an e-mail at kschneider19@yahoo.com

Thanks!</description>
