THE FIRST ONLINE ROMANCE NOVEL - ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN 1880! The "Old, Old Story" in a New, New Way. "The plot is original, and the story written in an easy, humorous style that cannot fail to be appreciated. The adventures of poor Quimby, the hero of so many catastrophes, with his patient, "I am used to it,' will cause many a hearty laugh, and would alone make the book a success....Everyone who wishes to read a bright, original book, and desires a good laugh, should buy 'Wired Love.'" -Boston Transcript "The love-making that goes on is done over the telegraph wires, and there is plenty of humor and a dash of mystery about the story which makes it refreshing reading. The heroine is a telegraphic operator, and the way in which her acquaintance over the wires with a fellow-operator ripens into something more than friendship, is very pleasantly told." -Boston Journal "A capital love story, the affection having its origin in telegraphic communications between two operators unknown to each other, fifty miles or so apart. The narrative is sprightly, and some of the incidents very amusing. The interest is admirably maintained, and incidentally the mysteries of electric telegraphing are well portrayed." -Boston Commonwealth "The plot is well conceived, and has several touches of originality in the handling. It is wide-awake, and will interest all who wold like to read the old story in a new way. The principals are telegraph operators....The tale reaches a happy conclusion, and everything is O. K." -New York Graphic "A new departure, and most assuredly the best of the season in the way of light, or 'vacation' literature. No reader but will hereafter have a little more respect for the ungainly telegraph poles which adorn our land: and the prosaic and common-place 'sounder and key' will hereafter wear a veil of sentiment and romance. It is spicy and original; the interest is kept up throughout, and for the mission which is meant to fulfill it a most admirable work." -Portland Argus "This is a readable, pleasant novel. Its style is original, its characters well drawn, and the plot well concealed and executed. There is a quiet humor which pervades its chapters, often broadening out into genuine fun. It is a good book to make you forget business and care, and leaves pleasant memories behind it." -Chicago Inter-Ocean "Making love by telegraph has perhaps not been infrequent since the general use of that wonderful invention; but for a young girl to fall in love with an operator without having seen him, merely from the way in which he sends messages, is something new. How that came about and what was the result of it can be seen in a vivaciously-written novel, 'Wired Love,' by Ella Cheever Thayer. The author calls her story 'A Romance of Dots and Dashes,' and its cleverness and humor will fill a summer afternoon acceptably." -New York Mail
