That sounds familiar. I sent out three manuscripts to persons I have known for decades in order to receive a little feedback: a Catholic priest, a god-daughter, and a dentist who studied auto shop with me in community college. No-one has ever gotten back to me! I guess we are both on our own. I imagined it would be difficult to stimulate some interest, but after thousands of hours of writing and re-writing, it is discouraging to have zero to show for it.
