Wonderful informative interview, Marian. And your wordsmithing is excellent. You crafted this emotional scene with all the angst Jake was feeling...then you snagged me at the end with his own heartwrenching pain & loss.
Well done.
2.)VICKI, said...

TO BE READ/ READ/ ADD
Those are happy words to an authors ear. Everytime someone adds my book, If I Fail, A Jake Carrington mystery I can't explain the joy it brings.
You see not only do I love reading, I love writing and the Jake Carrington Series is a labor of love for me.
It's a mystery but it has very strong romantic elements in the book.
Why add romance to a mystery? Well, I feel life has both. If I'm going to write a good and believable mystery it needs to reflect life and dreams.
What's your opinion on the subject?
