Love a Good Story

I just Love a Good Story. Don’t you just Love a Good Story?  Well, here is a good story, a reminder.

          Writers. Who are these people? Why do they write? Many people, especially at conferences, have asked me why I write. Authors write to communicate. They want to inform you about an issue or concept, to entertain you through their novel, or to persuade you about something important to them. Someone who writes a memoir wants to inform an audience about an issue in their lives and the outcome of that problem. Writers who write on topics such as religion, science, governmental affairs, and other things, write to inform or persuade readers, and writers who write “how to” books want to inform people about how to do something.

 I write to entertain and I’m told there is some learning in my novels . Novels, which are fiction, and are of all kinds, such as mystery, fantasy, thriller, crime, literary, and all the new types authors are inventing, are written to entertain you. Some are based on live events, but changed to create a novel that will allow you to enter another world, see problems other people have and offer you an opportunity to stand in the shoes of the main character.

          The journey of writing a novel and bringing it to you is a lengthy one. Each line or sentence is written into the novel for a purpose. The struggle to get each scene dramatic and complex where vivid characters interact, and the dialogue is creative takes many rewrites. Each genre has its own requirements and page limit, and the process must be carried out to the end of the novel. Thus, creating a new world of everyday people and their complicated problems for you to enjoy can take six months to two, sometimes three or more years to complete.

          For the Christmas holiday ahead, I am pleased to offer you the novels below. Please know that these books were written for you to enjoy. So, please, go ahead, enjoy them. Let me know what you think of them.
