And, on the flip side, how hard it is to convince some readers that you haven’t experienced everything your character has! My novel, Empire Of Light, is of the Urban [...]
Please welcome author Crystal Connor to the blog. We need to congratulate her, as her novel was a finalist in the 20011 International Book Awards. Congrats, Crystal! I grew up telling spooky little campfire style stories at slumber parties. We’d make a tent in the bedroom, and the only source of light would be from [...]
