I could not put them down till I finished (both Celestial Dragon and Noble Sacrifice). Now let me advice everyone, I know Ciara, and yes, she is a friend, but I still luv her stories and I will read everyone she writes.<BR/><BR/>Michael Davis<BR/>Davisstories.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071578858787530823.post-18576053082952095042009-04-13T13:07:00.000-05:002009-04-13T13:07:00.000-05:00Dear Linda!

I do think that characterization really matters and I spend lots of tme on it, obsessing - even more than food, so we have that in common, as well. So thanks so much, and now I'm addicted to this blog!!! Much love, L<BR/>PS And thanks to Judi, too.Lisa Scottolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475898727218941400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071578858787530823.post-33702472977306583112009-04-12T05:41:00.000-05:002009-04-12T05:41:00.000-05:00I think we talked about Lisa Scottoline a year or ...I think we talked about Lisa Scottoline a year or two back in our Yahoo group - Priscille, as I recall, liked her, and I'd just discovered her book - either Dead Ringer or Moment of Truth. I thought she was particularly good, although like all authors, I read one and get hooked, but pretty soon I find myself critiquing every author's work and falling away from them. I hate the editing disease since it ruins most books for me. It's something a professor I know warned me about when I started writing. I'm going to go back and try the audiobooks and see if I can get past the written word fix that way.<BR/><BR/>Other authors? The same problem - I used to love many and coming back to them a year or two later, find myself editing them. The only exceptions are Linda Howard (no wait, I even edit hers, but she's so great at telling a compelling story, I can get past it), Tami Hoag who just keeps getting better and better and then Jane Austen and Agatha Christie, of course. I never edit them.<BR/><BR/>judi writing as Lynn Romaine - Long Run Home due out 09/18/09.Infogypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15598764569161683076noreply@blogger.com
