How do you plot your novels? Your stories seem to flow very easily from chapter to chapter without that classic author filler in the middle.
Kerry Anne King
Good to know! :) I work from a structure I learned from James Scott Bell. There are 12 "signpost scenes" in every book that I know I need. Beyond that, there is a central question in every book and every chapter needs to connect to that. If it doesn't, out it goes!

Kerry Anne King:
So does the protagonist in I Wish You Happy eat? It may sound like a silly question, but I just finished Closer Home, and before that Whisper Me This. And I really like your storytelling style and the stories. I have, however gotten hung up on the fact that neither protagonist can ever seem to manage to eat a whole meal. Real women eat. I can’t read the last book if that protagonist does not eat either.
