Kudos to you! I truly appreciate it.

If I had to compare my MS to a movie (I know, but I love movies ), I say it is similar to "Working Girl."

Maybe I'll finishi it and see where it falls.

CRISP WHITES tells the story of Nina Yusof.

Irish Nina and Greek Stavros are living a typical Australian love story. They have survived the fallout of their cross-cultural marriage, and have stuck together through highs and lows. Nina is a hard worker, a faithful wife and a joyful mother… but she is also restless. She craves something… and it turns out to be adventure.

Making a radical detour from the main road of her life, and in the face of her husband’s doubts, Nina joins the Navy at thirty-three.

Crisp Whites tells the story of her initial training – the most life-changing six months imaginable. More than once, Nina feels doubt – what has she gotten herself into? All of her assumptions about herself; her life, her work and the nature of love, are turned upside down. She is challenged, exhausted and far from home, but she is tougher than she realises. Thrown together with a motley crew of men and women, Nina and the rest of New Entry Officer Course 25 must overcome enormous physical, mental and emotional hurdles… luckily there is plenty of pranking, flirting, and some ill-considered melon liqueur to lighten the load.

As in, not high/epic fantasy but wings might be ok? There's no magic in my book, but there are Faye people with wings. It's not set in the current-day though, so I suppose it would be more historical and not in your area of expertise.

It is similiar to MaryJanice Davidson- but is more of an funny urban fantasy than a funny paranormal romance- though there is romance.

Daphne has my query, and I am hoping you will want to take a look at it.

Sophie, a lot of people do conflate chick lit with witty women's fiction — I think it's about more than just boys, booze, and jobs, even when it's JUST about boys, booze, and jobs. A lot of chick lit is entertaining but forgettable. I don't ever want the books I rep to be forgotten!

As for a college age MC, I think that could fit into this category, sure.

And Shannon, it sounds like your novel might have possibly fallen into a trend called "mommy lit," which was popular for a while but has fallen a bit out of favor. It was seen as the next step beyond chick lit, for readers beyond stories of crazy singletons looking for love.

What else?

So, do I take it off the shelf and finish up – maybe see where it goes?

Also, if you have a MC who is say, in her later years of college, would you consider that women's fiction or YA?

Thanks Kate! Love the blog.
