  • Stories With Minds Of Their Own

    One of the reasons I don’t plot, is because sometimes most of the time my stories develop a life of their own. I know where it starts, and I know where it will end. HOW it gets there and HOW it ends is a different matter entirely. My second Romance book is an example of…
