A life of its own

When I started out on this writing venture, I thought I was just writing a book. Seven books later and well into the writing of the 8th book, I realize I am creating a world, the Meg Harris world. And I am having great fun doing it.

Meg has taken on a life of her own as have Eric, Teht'aa, Jid and other people whose lives weave in and out of the Meg Harris mystery series. I enjoy watching them grow and overcome the challenges I throw at them. I will plant seeds in one book only to have them come to fruition in later books. Often these lives go where I least expected them to go. And sometimes they go to places I don't want them to go, as happened in A Cold White Fear.

But I am only the writer and if Meg, Eric, Teht'aa, Jid and the others want to go there, then go they will.
