Independence Day
edited by FirstEditing.com
Author’s review
My editor was very articulate with constructive criticism, so I knew exactly what needed improvement. She was professional and prompt. Also, she praised certain paragraphs that she thought I'd written skillfully, and I found that encouraging. She was professional, detail-oriented, supportive, and respectfully honest. It was a well-rounded, helpful edit.
A short introduction
Department store magnate Clyde Anderson is a cool drink on a hot day and just being near her boss thrills Jonquil like 4th of July fireworks. Fantasies about her secret crush never featured them trapped together in a runaway elevator on America's birthday, but Jonquil's emotions always have had unpredictable effects on her surroundings. Her ingenuity and his courage are the perfect match against mechanical mayhem. Will the holiday's unexpected adventure prove these partners-in-peril are perfectly matched for each other?
