The Book Olympics – writing a novel is a marathon, not a sprint.

Another week of hot temps and I have to get back from interviewing this week’s featured author in time to perform for the local fair crowd. When I pick up Ms. Christi, I know she’s taken lessons from otehr authors and instead of giving me a specific destination nudges me aside and takes control of the transporter.  Where do we end up?

3 Must-Read Books On the Craft of Writing Mystery, Suspense & Thrillers

He said that it was well written but it…
