Without a good hook, the reader moves on to another book.

Jean's Writing 
Hi, Jean
Oh, I imagine you must get a lot of stupid jokes about your name; I used to before I finally got married and dumped it. In since I’m dropping by from the #AtoZChallenge (very glad to have found you by the way) instead of reading today’s AtoZ post (the letter J), IF you have time, please give my post on the letter G a read, She’s A Good Girl: http://bit.ly/1aCNVKw
Thanks:)
