I'm now rethinking a decision I recently made about creating a series: I decided against it because I have another story with different characters begging to be told. One of my beta readers, however, is urging me to create a series, so you've made me take a second look at the idea. Also, you've inspired me to read your books. I'm quite intrigued by your protagonist and the setting. :-)Linda Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16056682992943171805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-62979551430305209812017-01-13T15:55:37.545-07:002017-01-13T15:55:37.545-07:00By the way, besides iTunes, Amazon has now offered...By the way, besides iTunes, Amazon has now offered The Old Buzzard Had it Coming as a FREE download thru January.Donis Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15207228706777377242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-6459384063403455652017-01-13T15:54:26.829-07:002017-01-13T15:54:26.829-07:00Thanks for having me today, Dani.

I could relate to your comment about the characters taking over the story and dictating where they want to go and who they are. When a character evolves that way, as opposed to being just the people we may have thought they were, or created via a list of characteristics, they are more real to the reader, as well as the writer. Kudos to you for following the creative spirit.Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.com
