Final Hot Tip: The Bad Guy (Antagonist) Thinks He’s Good

We’ve reached the end of my short hot writing tips for cold nights (even though those cold nights are still with us, here in Montana at any rate). Today I want to present a final hot writing tip – about the antagonist.

Opposites Attract

Protagonists in stories need counterbalancing. They need opposing forces, obstacles, difficulties. Why? Because we all contend with difficulties in life, and the pri

Janet answered Diego's question: Hi Janet. I have read The Charmed Children of Rooksill Castle, which I really enjoyed. The Artifact Hunters is apparently a sequel, but the cover suggests a very different kind of book, less dark than the first one, maybe for a younger audience. Is this the case, or is it only that the cover designers decided to go in a different direction? Hi Diego! That is such a great question. And you got the right answer - the designers/editor decided to go in a different direction. (I'm not sure I would have, had I been given a choice, but authors don't get to choose!) In fact, The Artifact Hunter See Full Answer

Janet and 1 other person liked Jane Healy's review of Volcano Dreams: A Story of Yellowstone: "Volcano Dreams: A Story of Yellowstone by Janet Fox, illustrated by Marlo Garnsworthy is about the first U.S. National Park and what makes it so amazing—it’s volcanic activity. It can be read on several layers for the appreciation of a wide age range" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Janet Fox

“I know a place on this Earth that contains wonders enough to stop the breath. A place where the very rocks whisper and whine, where the rivers boil and the snow-studded peaks thrust into a bowl of blue; where great shaggy beasts press the earth with cloven hooves or threaten with claw and fang; where new life and lurking death coexist in the shallows of varicolored pools.”
― Janet Fox, Faithful
