Review by Amy at Building Life's Library and seeing things I've never seen
Amy at Building Life's Library did a wonderful review of The Matchmaker's Match!
It always surprises me when people pick up on things about my characters that I didn't even realize were there. I'm not a plotter nor do I plan in-depth characterization. My characters come to me and I do my best to write them as they are but then...I have to edit a lot. ;-)
I'm so happy she liked Amelia and Spencer!
Do your characters ever surprise you? Do people see you differently than you see yourself?

Research Whoops
Yikes, I got a bad review!
It's worse when it's not subjective. It's so bad when the reviewer catches something I should have caught. That's when I hide my face and frantically wish I could edit everyone's copies of my books. Sometimes it is too late to fix something though.
Do you read your books after they're published? Do you enjoy researching?
