And, by the way, thank you all for your support of Necromancer &#8211; it continues to sell well daily. What was I thinking? &#8211; My experiences writing my romantic adventure serial.

Among other projects, she is trying to find a publisher for her fantastic-sounding Viking novel. I can&#8217;t wait to read it. In this interview, we talk about writing YA, world building and Indie publishing. It was [&#8230;]]]></description>

Just a short while ago, she guest posted here about her Writing Journey. Go read it [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[My work-in-progress is a dark fantasy featuring a splattering of undead. (&#8220;splattering&#8221; seemed an appropriate grouping). I&#8217;m not writing a paranormal or urban fantasy, so I shall be avoiding the usual suspects: vampires, werewolves, and zombies. I have nothing against them, and I&#8217;m a bit of a zombie fan, but I want to bring some [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Sometimes you read a book where the setting is so rich, so beautifully described and original that you feel right there beside the characters. I believe that the setting can be as compelling as the characters, particularly in a series. You know, that feeling when you itch to read the next book as much for [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A picture paints a thousand words. Isn&#8217;t it fun when a work of fiction includes cool appendices with extras? It&#8217;s like checking out the Special Features on a movie DVD. Have you considered adding extras to your novel? &#160; Whether they see print is up to the publisher of course, since they add extra pages [&#8230;]]]></description>

Since there are so many variables, whose values we can only guess at, it’s no surprise that everyone comes up with a [&#8230;]]]></description>

This is a fascinating new development in our continual charting of extrasolar planets, of which several hundred have been [&#8230;]]]></description>
