Within this expansive genre, two authors stand out as true masters of their craft, captivating readers with their unique storytelling abilities. In this article, we will critically analyze the works of two of the best crime fiction writers, examining their strengths, weaknesses, and contributions to the genre.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier;">1. Author A: The Master of Psychological Manipulation</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier;">Author A has carved a niche for themselves by delving deep into the psychology of their characters, creating intricate webs of manipulation and suspense. Their ability to craft complex, morally ambiguous protagonists and antagonists is truly remarkable. By exploring the darkest recesses of the human mind, Author A keeps readers on the edge of their seats, constantly questioning the motivations and loyalties of the characters.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier;">However, one critique of Author A's work is the occasional tendency to prioritize psychological depth over pacing. While the intricate character development is commendable, it can sometimes result in slower narrative progression, potentially testing the patience of readers seeking a more fast-paced crime fiction experience.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier;">2.

While the twists and turns of the narrative are captivating, some characters may feel less fleshed out or lack the emotional depth necessary for readers to fully connect with them.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier;">A Comparative Analysis:</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier;">When comparing Author A and Author B, it becomes clear that they excel in different aspects of crime fiction writing. Author A's strength lies in their profound exploration of characters' psyches, providing readers with a deep understanding of their motivations and inner struggles. On the other hand, Author B shines in crafting intricate and unpredictable plotlines that keep readers engaged and guessing until the final pages.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier;">Both authors have contributed significantly to the crime fiction genre, but their distinct approaches cater to different reader preferences.

These dedicated individuals voluntarily read and provide feedback on early drafts, helping authors refine their work and identify areas for improvement. However, a recent trend has seen some beta readers start to charge for their services. This shift has sparked debate within the writing community, with proponents and critics offering various perspectives on the matter. In this article, we will delve into the reasons behind this emerging trend and explore the implications it may have on both authors and beta readers.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">1. Time and Commitment:</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">One of the primary reasons beta readers have begun charging is the significant investment of time and effort required to provide thorough feedback. Reading a manuscript, analyzing its strengths and weaknesses, and offering constructive criticism is a time-consuming process. As beta readers often have their own personal and professional commitments, it becomes increasingly challenging to dedicate substantial amounts of time without some form of compensation.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">2. Professional Expertise:</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">While many beta readers are avid readers and writers themselves, some individuals possess specialized knowledge or expertise in specific genres, writing styles, or subject matters. These individuals may have professional backgrounds, such as editors, literary agents, or published authors, which give them a unique perspective and insights into the publishing industry. Requesting compensation for their professional expertise and experience is a way to acknowledge their added value.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">3. Demand and Supply:</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">The demand for beta readers has surged with the rise of self-publishing and the accessibility of online platforms for aspiring authors. As more writers seek beta readers, the supply of volunteers may not be able to keep up. Charging for beta reading services helps manage this demand and ensures a more sustainable arrangement for both parties involved.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">4. Accountability and Quality:</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">Introducing a financial transaction can create a more accountable relationship between authors and beta readers. When money is involved, there is an implicit expectation of professionalism and a commitment to delivering high-quality feedback. Charging for their services may motivate beta readers to invest more time and effort into providing comprehensive and insightful critiques. This, in turn, can potentially enhance the overall quality of the feedback received by authors.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">5. Value and Recognition:</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">Charging for beta reading services is also a way for beta readers to recognize the value of their own time and expertise. By assigning a monetary value to their skills, they are validating the significance of their contribution to the writing process. It allows them to approach beta reading as a professional service rather than a purely voluntary endeavor, leading to a more equitable exchange between authors and beta readers.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">While the concept of paying beta readers may be a departure from the traditional notion of volunteerism, it is important to understand the motivations behind this emerging trend. As the publishing landscape continues to evolve, authors and beta readers alike are adapting to new realities and seeking sustainable models for collaboration. Charging for beta reading services acknowledges the time, expertise, and commitment that beta readers bring to the table, fostering a more professional and mutually beneficial relationship. As writers continue to seek feedback and beta readers strive to provide valuable insights, the evolving dynamics between them will shape the future of the writing community.</span></div></div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"><br /></div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"><br /></div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"><br /></div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style">

you cry?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">I’m not sure if this is the first
book, but it is definitely the most memorable, <i>Little Women</i> made me cry.
I read it in fourth grade, and you know, the whole Beth thing. Devastating to nine-year-old
me. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><b>If you could tell your younger
writing self anything, what would it be?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">Just get words on a page, they
don’t need to be perfect. You can’t edit a blank page.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><b>What does literary success look
like to you?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">Literary success looks like people,
who are not related to me, or friends with me, reading my books. I simply want
people reading, and hopefully, loving what I write. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><b>What kind of research do you do,
and how long do you spend researching before beginning a book?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">For the London Detective Agency, I
did a lot of research about London, since I had never been, outside of a
layover in Heathrow on our way to Greece for our honeymoon. So I did a lot of
research about streets, and buildings, and what life is like there. For my
current WIP, I did a lot of research into FBI Criminal Profiling. For both
series’ I spent a few weeks prior to writing doing research before writing. But
research is pretty ongoing as I write, since I’m a plantser. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><b>Are you a full-time writer or do
you have a day job? If so, what do you do?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">I just went back to work full time
after staying home with my kids for the last ten years. I am currently the
building substitute teacher at the school my children attend. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><b>Do you hide any secrets in your
books that only a few people will find?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">I do. In <i>Mistaken Identity</i> I
have put in certain inside jokes or references that only some of my close
friends or family would get. It’s sort of my love letter to them as a thank you
for helping me during the process and for reading the book. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><b>What was your hardest scene to
write?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">There’s a scene in <i>Mistaken
Identity</i> where one of the characters is injured. It’s a very dramatic scene
and really pushes the love story forward. However, deciding where the character
should be injured that would look serious, but not take the character out for
the rest of the book, was very difficult. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><b>Are your characters inspired by
real people?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">Yes. Especially in <i>Mistaken
Identity</i>. It’s my first novel, and I used a lot of my real friends and
family to inspire several of the characters. And I think when those people read
the book, they will know which ones were based on them. <o:p></o:p></p>

The human body really should be appreciated. We all have something we like, maybe it's a nice ass, or 8-pack abs, or biceps. But how often do we really think of a cock as something to drool over. Of course, our men sure think they've got something wonderful tucked away in their jeans. So, why not let them show it off?</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #161616; font-family: courier; font-size: medium; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Not all are open with the idea I'm about to suggest, and the way to get them to agree is not likely by explaining that we all know they all do it at some point in time -- it's no huge secret even though many of them still think it is. But allowing someone that is personally close to you can be a large push for trust. Be sure to not take your man's consent to try this lightly. If he's never done it before, this is a big step for him. Appreciate it.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #161616; font-family: courier; font-size: medium; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A side thought to it: You can learn how he likes to be touched and when it's in your hand, put that knowledge to use. Pay attention, does he pull up over the tip? Or does he stay lower? Little notes can make a big difference. You may think you've got your man and his needs perfected, but there's always something new to learn.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #161616; font-family: courier; font-size: medium; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This may be something that you'll need to take baby steps in. If you're shy or if he is, it may need to be a gradual thing. Remember, sex rarely has to be all or nothing and there's no harm in easing your way into things. If you're both comfortable, you'll both enjoy it.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #161616; font-family: courier; font-size: medium; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Make sure that he's comfortable and that he has your undivided attention. Be prepared that he may watch you rather than what he's doing to himself. He'll get turned on by seeing you get turned on. Besides, if he is new at this, it'll help him focus on something else. Be sure to watch the entirety of whatever show he's willing to give you. And, before making eye contact, which can make the experience even more erotic, be sure he's OK with it. Remember, you have plenty of time to do all aspects of it. It's not a race.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #161616; font-family: courier; font-size: medium; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Eventually, maybe you can convince him to come for you. Talk about a HOT and I mean H-O-T experience---muscles tense everywhere. He may be shocked at how much your desire for him increases just from watching him get off.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #161616; font-family: courier; font-size: medium; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">My initial idea is always to wait on joining in. Get comfortable watching him and let him get comfortable allowing you to watch. Then maybe expand. I still think it's absolutely great on its own. However, some options are: allowing him to wrap your hand around him and his hand over yours to guide you, oral sex from you while he works his hand up and down his shaft, play with his balls (carefully -- some men don't like it, some love it, some like it a certain way -- if you're unsure, this is a great time to ask him to show you).</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #161616; font-family: courier; font-size: medium; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">What always comes up with this is watching each other masturbate. While not a bad idea, it does take the focus off the individual and, at times, it can be like you're each alone in the room and just in your own world of pleasure. The idea of this is to watch your partner, get a feel for what they feel and their trust in just allowing you to watch. So, on doing it together--I say no. Let your man have the spotlight on this one. You'll be glad that you did.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #161616; font-family: courier; font-size: medium; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A final thought, even if your man says no, it doesn't mean you can revisit the idea and it's not that they're being closed-minded. Comfort and respect are always first. Now, see if you can try something new.</span></p></div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style">

Whips and chains and fire and so on maybe has you feeling like running for the door, even if they just are on the computer screen. Here's a little something a little more casual, but yet it will get your feet wet and perhaps start pushing the road to trying new things. You never know. Once something becomes comfortable, it may just open a road to wonderful experimentation with your partner.</span><br /><br /><span style="background: white;">The biggest thing, as so often mentioned on RLJ is trust with your partner. Trying new things and not being self-conscious is always going to be tough. But there's so much that can be missed out on without trying. You should also respect your partner {as they should you} to simply stop or skip something that you both aren't 100% comfortable with.</span><br /><br /><span style="background: white;">Sometimes I cheat. If I think I'm not quite brave enough, I have a few alcoholic drinks. Safely, of course, in the privacy of my own home. Don't do it to get drunk or even buzzed. It's just for show. It's an excuse to act a little differently than you normally would. As you get comfortable, you won't need anything to "hide behind."</span><br /><br /><span style="background: white;">On to more interesting things.</span><br /><br /><span style="background: white;">Do some extra Halloween shopping this year, not to mention, on the internet, you can pretty much get costumes all year long. Does your partner have a thing for a French maid costume? Maybe a nurse? What about Pocahontas? Would you love to see your partner's awesome body in a fireman outfit? As a construction worker? As a doctor? How about a little extra fun as a vampire? Master and slave? Your imagination is the only thing to keep this one from getting interesting.</span><br /><br /><span style="background: white;">Once you step into the costume, or your partner does, play the role. Are you the nurse? Act like one. Make him undress. Check him over. Then take control for what will likely be a great night of sex. Feeling vulnerable, in one way or anther, is a turn on for men and women most of the time.</span><br /><br /><span style="background: white;">If you've grown tired of dress up or aren't sure you're ready to try some role playing, there's always board games for adults. If you have a Spencers near by, they generally carry them. And, as with almost everything else, they're readily available on the internet.</span><br /><br /><!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><span style="background: white; line-height: 15.3333px;">Sex Position Dart (see blog image): Now, here's a fun one. You can even sharpen up your dart skills while having an enjoyable evening at home. Each position is drawn out on the dart board for you. Some will even take some practice and a little skill to pull off. Practice your dart throwing. There's nothing wrong with intentionally hitting your favorites.</span><span style="line-height: 15.3333px;"><br /><br /><span style="background: white;">Lovers Tower: This game is all about truth and dare. What? You thought that was just for kids? Just remember to never ask anything you don't really want to know. And if you do, be adult about the outcome. When you remove a block, you answer a question or complete a dare then place your block back on top without knocking it down. A really fun way to play Jenga.</span><br /><br /><span style="background: white;">Sexual Nirvana: In this fun game, you build a sexual nirvana fantasy that consists of 12 consecutively numbered cards. The deck includes 12 romance cards, 12 hot sex cards, 12 role play cards, 12 fetish cards and 4 wild card. There are literally hundred of outcomes available to you and your partner.</span><br /><br /><span style="background: white;">Position of the day playing cards: How about using these for a handy game of strip poker and following up by selecting a random card. Try out the position on the card you drew.</span><br /><br /><span style="background: white;">Let's Fool Around: A hot game of dice. One die contains the action. The other has that body part to do it to. Roll the dice and see what you get to do to your partner. Simple and fun.</span><br /><br /><span style="background: white;">Adult Pain Box: Transform your partner's body into your own work of art. In addition to getting to have a new canvas to work on, you get to stare at and touch your partner's body for as long as you feel you can be creative.</span><br /><br /><span style="background: white;">My recommendation? Stay in this weekend. Play a little dress up and play some new board games.</span><br /></span></span></span></p></div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style">

I used to never watch television. Since my day job has gotten increasingly more irritating, I now find it as a way to unwind. But I am terribly picky about what I will watch. Have any suggestions on what I should watch? I'd love to hear them. Here are a few of the shows I've been watching (in no particular order):</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Dexter:</b> I was addicted to this show and so excited when the new season was coming. I mean, I had waited FOREVER!</p><p>Then slow start.</p><p>Then it seemed like it was going ok.</p><p>Then the ending :( May I just say I would have done a completely different ending and there would have been several more seasons. (How much trouble would I get in if I rewrote it?)</p><p>For Dexter fans, definitely have to watch -- it won't go the way you want, though.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>You:</b> One of my favorite creepy stalker, serial killers. No lie. I have been dying for the next season. I discovered it right before season 3 started. I watched season 1 and season 2 during a 3 day weekend. </p><p>All of it.</p><p>Every episode.</p><p>Yes, he's a bit creepy. But his twisted ways make for an interesting season. However, it seems 2 years are lapsing before a new season is available. </p><p>If you don't mind a bit of stalker creepy stuff - this show is for you.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Hightown:</b> Drugs, drugs, and more drugs. Amaury Nolasco is in this and I enjoyed his character from Prison Break (yes, binge watch that regularly as well). There are a lot of human people -- faulted people -- no happily ever after with perfect people everywhere. I wasn't sure how I would feel about the over-sexualized content with all the drinking and drugs -- but I love it. Finally, a show that shows people being people and not striving to be perfect. They go with the flow, make mistakes, suffer losses, and are imperfectly perfect. (Rumor is this is the final season)</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Dahmer:</b> Definitely creepy. But also really good. I binge-watched this over a weekend. The first episode (talk of smells and the icky mattress, dirty apartment, etc) was a bit gross and I wondered if I wanted to continue. I also know that I have seen on social media - more than a few times - that many didn't make it more than watching only the first episode. My opinion? Give it a try. Once those first few are over, it is really good.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Yellowstone:</b> This is kind of a guilty pleasure -- being a ranch girl myself. I would work that show for free just to be able to ride horses in those beautiful open spaces again. If I'm being honest, I was late coming over to the Yellowstone hype. Four seasons were over when I got on board. What got me? 1883! Even after I waited weeks before jumping into Season 1. Now I'm dying for season 5. Rumor is season 6 is a go also. Have you watched?</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Chicago Fire:</b> I watched this the first 2 or 3 season and got annoyed with all the perfect people, all the understanding of how things just don't always work and pure acceptance of it. There is little fall out, though they do play the "hard to get people to stay together" line all too much. Case in point: Casey and Dawson, Casey and Brett. Need the relaxation and brain escape due to work, I did start over from season 1 and caught up and am watching season 11 as it comes out. Team Severide? Team Stella? Team Casey? Team Herrmann?</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Witcher:</b> I was ate to this show as well and honestly - f it ends like the video game (thanks to my boys for that spoiler) or the books (thanks Google), I won't watch the whole how. Season 3 - which I've waited forever for - is due some time in 2023. I do like Henry Cavill in this show (with the long locks) which is surprising since I'm not normally a fan. CAN'T. STAND. CIRI. But anyway, still a good show.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Seal Team:</b> I've watched this since day 1. My guilty pleasure? I seem to be a die hard David Boreanaz fan girl. I loved him in Angel, loved him in Buffy, loved him in Bones (even watched that one horrible movie he was in where he was with a billion and two different girls). When word got out that Bones was in its final season I panicked. Once I knew about Seal Team, I was on board and have been watching all the seasons...which currently the season is going! Check it out (note: you will cry some too). (Rumor is the upcoming season is the last. Wondering what Breanaz will do next.)</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Criminal Minds: </b>I was super (and I mean SUPER) late getting on board with this one. I am at season 3. I just started binge watching this in September. Can I admit something? Spencer Reid's character is so incredibly smart that it actually makes him attractive. How odd is that? I have honestly never experienced that. Not ever. I find I am deeply involved in the show )other than Elle and Emily - ugh! just can't get into their characters, they annoy me) and each episode and try to solve before they do. How is the new season? I have quite a few episodes to go before I get there. I did kind of jump off the wagon here. I know so many are leaving. I think I'm on season 8 or 9.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Fire Country:</b> I am now two seasons in (well 3 episodes into the second season) and I still don't know exactly how I feel about this show. The main character, I just really have a hard time liking him. For the record, I had the same issue trying to like him in Seal Team.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Chicago PD:</b> It took me forever to get on board with this one because I have a strong dislike for all the main female characters they have, other than Platt. In the end (if you sang that - Linkin Park - we can be friends), I started binge-watching and I'm now on Season 10, Episode 11. I wish Burgess would go away. I'll just take Adam and toughen him up a bit.</p><p><br /></p><p>As always I'd love to hear your thoughts. Leave a comment! Did you feel differently about a show I love? Do you have a watch suggestion for me? Do you have a topic idea for me for an upcoming post here? Let me know --let's discuss. </p></div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"><br /></div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"><br /></div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style">

writing?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Publishing my first book changed my writing process because
I had to develop the process. The first book took several years to write. As
soon as I set-up the pre-order, I realized I couldn’t waste any time if I
wanted to get all of my stories out of my head and onto the page. I began
taking all sorts of craft classes and productivity seminars and have continued
to hone my process.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>What did you do with your first advance?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With my first advance, I paid for editing and covers for the
next books in the series. I started with self-publishing, had the second in the
series picked up by Kindle Press via the Kindle Scout program, and then paid
for the rest of the books. Those stories are now only available in serialized
format on Radish but taught me a lot about the business.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>How many unpublished and half-finished books do you have?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I don’t have any half-finished books but I do have five
unpublished books on my computer. Unpublished doesn’t mean uncontracted. Only
two of those are brand-new, need to go on submission, projects. If I start
something, I finish it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>What does literary success look like to you?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I LOVE this question because I think figuring out what
success means is the number one best thing an author can do for themselves.
Literary success to me is continuing to publish my romances and connect with
readers, building my audience year after year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>What period of your life do you find you write about most
often? (child, teenager, young adult)<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I find that I most often want to write about whatever period
of my life I’m living at the moment. I’m a no regrets sort of person. I don’t
look back with longing or pain for the past. I like to look forward because I
believe the best is yet to come.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Do you hide any secrets in your books that only a few
people will find?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hide a lot of inside jokes in my books. I’ve reused funny
things my husband and kids have said. I included the secret handshake I use
with my mom. And I’ve given a lot of characters quirks from my dad. My mom
loves to read my books and spot things (often, by the time the book is
published I forgot what I snuck in) and call me to laugh.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>What was your hardest scene to write?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The hardest scene to write is always the final scene because
I’m never ready to end. By the time I’ve reached the last pages, I’ve gotten to
know and enjoy the characters and story. I hate saying goodbye. The best part
about <i>Finders Keepers, Cowboy </i>is that it launches a brand-new trilogy.
So it wasn’t goodbye as much as see you soon.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Do you believe in writer’s block?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I believe that if someone is convinced something is real it
is. To them. If someone tells me, I’ve seen a ghost, I agree automatically.
Because that person, in their perception, has seen a ghost. My doubt won’t
convince them otherwise. I don’t believe in writer’s block for me. I believe in
<i>I can’t see around this problem so I’m going to procrastinate</i>. To get
myself out of that, I do something completely different (usually a chore or
physical task) and find the answers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Book Blurb:<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-left: .5in; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="color: #222222;">Meg Hawke’s antique store is faltering. When her
octogenarian neighbor Hank asks her to clean out his shed and sell antiques on
consignment, she has a real chance at discovering forgotten treasure. If she
steps foot on the Montana ranch, however, she’ll come face-to-face with her
childhood frenemy and Hank’s grandson, Ryan.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-left: .5in; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="color: #222222;">After selling off the ranch’s cattle years before, Ryan
Kincaid dove into the world of high-end tourism, devoting everything to the
business. For his sanity, he avoids his annoying known-her-since-childhood
neighbor, Meg. With the forced proximity of the shed project happening in his
backyard, though, he’s singing a different tune. Perhaps he’d been wrong about
her.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-left: .5in; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">A
surprise discovery spurs both change and challenge, and they’re forced to
choose the potential of ever-after or forget each other and finally move on
forever.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Book Excerpt:<o:p></o:p></b></p>

sound of his pounding chest. In the antique store, he was too much. If he
lifted his arms, he was liable to knock something off a shelf. When he spoke,
his voice was too loud and shook the baubles hanging off the chandelier. He
didn’t fit. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: .25in .5in .75in 1.0in 1.25in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Wide open spaces suited him best. He preferred
the outdoors with no obstructions. He didn’t have to be mindful of anything
more than his task.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Her focus rested solely on him. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: .25in .5in .75in 1.0in 1.25in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">He felt warm and sticky like he’d gone for a
long ride at midday. Now he regretted changing into his best outfit. He’d have
to wash it as soon as he got home. With any luck, she’d appreciate the effort. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: .25in .5in .75in 1.0in 1.25in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“It’s a clean cut. Ted poured antiseptic into
the wound as he bandaged me.” The memory of the burning in his finger during
Ted’s first aid session snapped Ryan back to the present. “I’ll be fine.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: .25in .5in .75in 1.0in 1.25in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">She nodded. “Better safe than sorry. You don’t
want to contract an infection.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: .25in .5in .75in 1.0in 1.25in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">His throat squeezed shut. Now she was saying
his tired, clichéd lines. He scanned the room, looking for hazards. If he
slammed into something fragile, he’d add to his mounting debt. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: .25in .5in .75in 1.0in 1.25in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">She strode toward the register. Her hair swung
with every step. She was as pretty as anything else in the room.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: .25in .5in .75in 1.0in 1.25in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Her store was her domain. Every spare surface,
from shelves to dresser tops to mantles, held a variety of objects from
delicate vases to tiny figurines. Furniture scattered throughout the space in
groups of twos and threes. She’d crammed thousands of items into her store. The
room should feel crowded and cluttered. Somehow, her overdecorating worked. <i>Controlled
chaos like her.</i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: .25in .5in .75in 1.0in 1.25in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">He followed, grateful to reach an open space
he could stand in. And then he dropped his gaze. Every time he noticed the tiny
details that made her <i>her</i>, he berated himself a little more. She wasn’t
the enemy. She looked out for his grandfather, including setting vermin traps
under the porch. She was kind.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: .25in .5in .75in 1.0in 1.25in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">And she wasn’t a child anymore. Neither of
them were.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: .25in .5in .75in 1.0in 1.25in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“Let me see, please?” she asked. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: .25in .5in .75in 1.0in 1.25in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Dropping his hat to the counter, he rested his
hands in the center of the glass case. Inside, shiny, pretty things lined a
velvet shelf.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: .25in .5in .75in 1.0in 1.25in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">She inched her fingers toward his injured
digit. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: .25in .5in .75in 1.0in 1.25in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">With every tiny motion forward, he tensed. She
wouldn’t hurt him anymore than he’d already accomplished. He fisted his other
hand. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: .25in .5in .75in 1.0in 1.25in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">She brushed her fingertips over his calloused
palm. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: .25in .5in .75in 1.0in 1.25in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The whisper soft touch of her silky, smooth
skin over his work-hardened hands sent a jolt through him. “I’m fine.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: .25in .5in .75in 1.0in 1.25in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">With a mental growl, he drew back his hands.
Every time she touched him, she activated some sort of response he couldn’t
define or explain. If he hadn’t moved, he’d have cracked the display. He
dropped his arms to his sides and breathed deep, inhaling lemon furniture
polish and lavender. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

That set her up for being a starving artist, the biggest fibber in the world, or a romance author. She’s so glad she chose the latter. She's always had a love affair with the written word. As a child growing up in a small town, she loved visiting the local library, a converted gilded age mansion, and getting lost between the pages of a book. The drafty old mansion could be a spooky place, but she still loved it. She enjoyed poking into behind the scenes areas she wasn't supposed to venture into. She's still the same way, which is why she loves writing romance with an edge, paranormal, suspenseful, super sexy, or just laugh your pants off funny. She resides in Wisconsin with her family.</span></p><p class="m_-8087600544860903492mb m_-8087600544860903492rb" style="background-color: #f7f1fe; color: #0c128e; font-family: helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; text-align: center; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span class="m_-8087600544860903492mb m_-8087600544860903492rb"> </span></p><p class="m_-8087600544860903492mb m_-8087600544860903492rb" style="background-color: #f7f1fe; color: #0c128e; font-family: helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; text-align: center; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span class="m_-8087600544860903492mb m_-8087600544860903492rb" style="font-weight: bold;">AMAZON LINK:</span></p><p class="m_-8087600544860903492mb m_-8087600544860903492rb" style="background-color: #f7f1fe; color: #0c128e; font-family: helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; text-align: center; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span class="m_-8087600544860903492mb m_-8087600544860903492rb"><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://tinyurl.com/4RinKU&source=gmail&ust=1709331461967000&usg=AOvVaw0q4tpX8MLpMbkai6X-OBrK" href="http://tinyurl.com/4RinKU" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/4RinKU</a></span></p></div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"><br /></div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style">

But we aren't the kind of friends you see working together on TV or meeting up, and talking to one another on TV. We text mostly. And then it's sporadic and maybe just a handful of back-and-forth messages, and then we are silent for days or weeks or months. We hang out, once every 12 to 18 months (and we don't live that far away from each other).</div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"><br /></div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style">Now, I get the argument here: We're adults and have busy lives, families, demanding jobs.....</div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"><br /></div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style">The question is, when we fall into watching these unattainable friendships, does it really give us comfort? Or is it actually unhealthy?</div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"><br /></div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style">We see the relationships. Either they put them together and rip them apart and put them back together. Or they put them together rip them apart, have them get serious with 6 other people throughout 3 seasons, and put them back together....or have one totally done with the other while the other is so in love and attached and can't move on that it's not healthy.</div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"><br /></div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style">Are we envious of any of these? Do the happy couples make us really, deep down, feel better or worse? Do the failed relationships, broken hearts, together and apart, pining for affection make us feel better or worse?</div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"><br /></div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style">No judgment on my end - I will continue to binge-watch show after show when I find one that interests me. Harmful or not: I'm invested.</div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"><br /></div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style">Are you a television binge-watcher too? Give my blog a follow because I'll be talking about some of my favorite shows and characters (and not so favorite) during 2024 and I'd love to chat with you about them!</div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"><br /></div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"><br /></div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"><br /></div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style">
