Justice in H-Town - Chapter 2 (reboot)
Over at Texas Pulp Writer, I have posted the rebooted version of Justice in H-Town, Chapter 2.
For those of you who have read the original version of chapter 2, you will notice a few differences. More than one judge and some of my fellow reviewers said that they wanted to see Anne Chambers in a more likable situation. The funny thing about being the writer: I know all the ins and outs of this character...I just need to clue the readers in, too.
A second idea that I had was that I wanted the mess Anne found herself in at the end of chapter 2 to be more dire in the reboot than in the original. I hope you like it.
Enjoy.

Justice in H-Town (Reboot)
Upon reflection, I probably should have finished writing the *entire* book before posting chapters. Alas, I didn't...so I have to resubmit chapters 1 and 2 of Justice in H-Town.
I have 17 chapters written and most of chapters 4-17 I can reuse. I just needed to reset the trajectory of the book. 95% of the book and the story are the same. I just felt like there needed to be more dire circumstances in the beginning. And more than one person told me that my chapter 1 didn't deliver the emotional impact I wanted it to. Thus, I added a secondary scene in chapter 1, which I am posting today. And I'm leaving the original there, too, for comparison.
So, click on over to Texas Pulp Writer for the rebooted Justice in H-Town's Chapter 1. Chapter 2 will follow shortly, after I've let the critique group have a go at it.
