I have read many wonderful books on YouWriteOn, but I can't recall ever before wanting to scream to the world about one. Here is a scream.
As a veteran reader of all kinds of stories I feel privileged to have been able to read this story before its discovery by the literary world:

And no, I have never heard of Sylvia Moody before, don't know her relatives or friends or anything about her. Other than that this book is what writing and reading should be all about, a life-changing experience.

I was just assigned another piece by this author and thought the work was first class. I then went to see some reviews of Journey.. and see similar resposnes, including the one posted by Rose Red. I haven't read Journey into the interior, but if it matches the piece I was assigned (A trio of short shorts) then there's every possibility the extraordinary remarks above are not unwarranted.

Rose Red - just came across your message about Journey on the reviews forum.
You may like to know that this novel has been on the desk of an editor at Random Huse who absolutely loved it but said it was just too weird for her list! Anyway she's suggested a couple of agents. One has got back to me saying it's great but...just too weird for her list. I'll keep trying.

But 'too weird for her list' is brilliant, and the more of those you get the better. The next thing is we're reading in the Sunday review pages that 'the big regret of her career is rejecting Journey into the Interior, which has now gone into its twentieth printing.'
