That's possibly because I'm lucky, but I don't think so. Too many other writers whom I respect say that they don't believe in it either.

The key - at least for me - seems to be always thinking about stories and writing.

Jane and the Stillroom Maid by Stephanie Barron

Although I love the entire Austen Mysteries series so far, some of the individual books can drag.

Doctor Who by Andy Lane
"From the lore about The Banquo Legacy, Andy Lane and Justin Richards must have hacked this Eighth Doctor novel more quickly than usual because it replaced another that was on the schedule. It doesn't feel like a rush job. In fact, it's one of the bet" Read more of this review »
