Dear Jilly,
I'd love to read it. Since I spent time in jail, and witnessed much sexual abuse, my critique might be helpful.

Jon,
Thanks for sending your story. I was ill for a time and that's why I haven't gotten back to you. But I sure will.
Since you shared your story with me, I'd like to know if you would beta read my first chapter for a book I'm writing about a gay man caught up in the abuses of jail. I was told it was "Too in your face." I'd like to know what you think.
Thanks!
Jilly
