Realistic fiction
Hi,
Have you ever wondered about the truth at the heart of fiction? I have. And it makes me wonder where authors get their story ideas from.
A clipping from the news. A scene on the TV. A commercial. A snippet of dialogue. An incident at the gym. These are all components of our lives. Little bits and pieces that shape our experiences and make us who we are.
And what about those people who write stories that run parallel to lives that real people live? Is that classified as fiction? Realistic fiction? True fiction? Is it even fiction anymore.
I wonder....

Honor & Love of reading!
Hi,
So I'm officially over the moon again! I received a warm welcome from my copy editor for receipt of the the 2nd book and then....
She wants to read the entire book again AS A READER... after having gone through it once (with track changes), twice (the rewrites)--I mean can you believe that? I certainly can't!
It's an honor! Such an honor! A privilege to know that a labor of love isn't just mine alone... but another woman from a different background, of different origin, experiences and shaped by a different set of values, wants to read the 2nd book again for the sake-no wait! LOVE of reading!
It's taken me the entire weekend and 3 days to digest this news... and I can't wait to see what she finally says as a reader.
Until then I'm reading-no, actually,- writing the next blog post for my blog tour next month!
Happy Reading!
