What Some Say About The Author's Assistant
From Kim Carmichael: Draw the Line
The performance artist and the con artist unite in the ultimate marriage of convenience.
Performance artist Argyle Brink lives life as one big art exhibit. He never misses an opportunity to take a chance and stand by his convictions. Only fame has eluded him.
In order to save her family’s estate, Malone Summersfield must never return to England. After conning an art critic into taking her to America, she realizes the con is on her when his wife appears. Needing to get married, she figures she'll give it a go when Argyle offers to make an honest woman out of her for the price of co-starring in a reality show.
The show takes on a life of its own, airing everything from their dirty laundry to their public display of passion. However, when the INS investigates, and Argyle uses their dilemma to broaden his art, Malone wonders if she will ever be his priority.
With their marriage, their show, and her citizenship at stake, the two must decide if the ultimate truth lies in the art or in their love.

As a Conduit, Ziv possess the ability to see creatures of the night: demons.

Tamara Eaton did an amazing job in editing my novel The School of Ministry: The Windgate. She has a knack for being thorough, very through, which is exactly what I needed. I appreciated her attention to detail because she enriched my story without taking away the things I adored about the characters. She made the storytelling elements more precise and deliberate, which made the story flow nicely. She even pointed out the loopholes in the story that needed patching up. I feel very competent with the finished product.

New Release: The Girl on the Mountain by Carol Ervin
When her husband disappears, young May Rose is stranded in a rough town owned by a company logging the last of West Virginia’s virgin forest. It’s 1899, and a woman alone has few options. As she struggles to sustain herself, she discovers
people are not what they seem--not the husband who wooed her with stories and
songs, not the wild, dirty child, the sullen cook, nor the stiff boardinghouse
proprietor, and certainly not the company manager, pillar of the town. But May
Rose is also not the obedient woman she once was. She’s been scorned as the girl on the mountain, the subject of shocking stories, yet there’s more to her than anyone expected. To survive, she must distinguish friend from foe, defend herself from predatory men and boys, and prove herself a person of value.
Most important, she must believe that love is never wasted.
Available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble
The Girl on the Mountain had the benefit of many critiques, and I'd edited it carefully myself (it was free of grammar and punctuation errors), but Tamara's suggestions strengthened its characters and plot. She also found errors in my timeline, pointed out some stylistic inconsistencies, and checked the accuracy of such details like whether a particular date in history had a full moon or not. In the final proof, she noticed that I'd consistently misspelled a literary reference - 7 times! I'm grateful for her talents and thorough work.

Tamara did an excellent job of catching all the typos and nits I thought
I'd cleared from my manuscript. She's professional, quick, and
thorough. Being a writer herself, helps her to make good, usable
suggestions.

Tamara did the editing for my latest book and it was a top notch job. Not only did she make suggestions that greatly expanded the characters, she took a ship that was sailing without a rudder and put it on course. I can't praise her enough. ~
