mystery suspense writer
I am more of a suspense writer. A mystery writer solves mysteries. I am a 'high suspense' writer.
high involves mystery solving writer
Mystery writing involves solving a puzzle, but 'high suspense' writing is a situation whereby the writer thrusts the hero/heroine into high drama.
dumbasses
come and get it, you dumbass
feet able ifs
If your feet are firmly planted on the grount you'll never be able to dance.
men they-said said
They said no one knew a man as well as a woman who slept with him.
love love-you easy
I can't be easy. It's not my nature. But it's my nature to love you.
giving-up memories children
In the end, we all have to decide what we're willing to give up for payback. We all have parents or grandparents or children who will need us. Agonizing decisions sometimes. You have to weigh the memories and debt against what's being taken from you.
good-life moving believe
We're trained to believe we should cling to one person only. Yet there are so many people who pass in and out of our lives. Good people, worth people, interesting people. Most of them stay for a little while and then move on. Some of them find a place with us and, if we let them, they enrich us. Don't close yourself off from the rest of the world, Eve. If you find someone who can make you understand a little more, laugh every now and then, give you a new experience, then never feel guilty. You'll just have more to give back to those who are closest to you.

I was just as voracious a writer as I was a reader.

eye going-away done

character sleep writing
The greatest compliment a writer can be given is that a story and character hold a reader spellbound. Im caught up in the story writing and I miss a good deal of sleep thinking about it and working out the plot points.
children book writing
After the children grew up, I began to focus on my writing. My first books were part of a trilogy... The 'Wind Dance' trilogy.
