Once you find your characters, how do you find the stories to tell? It seems like your books are just one really long story. Did you plan it that way, or is that how the characters came to you?

Do you mean the Stacy Justice series? Nothing is planned in advance. I'm a pantser which means the characters tell me their story rather than the other way around. I'm often surprised by the characters that walk onto the page and where the story runs off to. With Stacy's world, I originally wanted to write simple cozy murder mysteries set around pagan holidays with no series threads. She had other ideas.

Hi Barbra, My husband & I have owned 6 Great Danes over our 33 year marriage. At this time, we only Maverick, our grey merle. We have had up to 3 of them at a time before. I was wondering what types you have and what there names are? Our oldest lived to be 13, but we have lost them as young as 3 months. It is so painful to lose your babies.
