I'm attending, are you?

Almost time

Taking Back His Widow is just over a month away from release and not only am I excited but I am completely freaked that it had come around so soon and I have so much still to do. Isn't that always the way?

So to celebrate I have loaded my first trailer which you can watch if you click on the cover to your left. I hope it leaves you intrigued.

Happy writing and reading everyone

Coincidences- Should we use them?

It's been a question asked of late and had me thinking- can we use coincidences in our stories without it becoming weak and unrealistic?

I thought seriously about it before I gave them my answer and I thought through my own ms which had one that led my hero to his heroine after eleven years. Then I thought through how I met my husband and guess what- it was one long string of coincidences.

Now I'm not saying that you should use coincidences all the way through your ms; this I believe would make it weak. But I do think that they are a part of life and even the unbelievable ones are good ones.

So I want you to think about how you met your hubby and tell me- was it a coincidence that brought you together?

You can answer through face book or here, I think it will be interesting to see how many of us have a simple coincidence to thank for how we met the love of our lives.

I want to thank Amanda Kelsey from Eternal Press for a beautiful cover, she has incorporated everything I asked and is a genius!

Debate

In our last critique group meeting an interesting topic had come up- when to use italic for POV. Some of us thought that italics shouldn't be needed as the reader knows we are in hero's/heroines POV, but some of us believe when talking to ones self either sarcastically or whatever, should be in italics.

Here's an example:

"What else did he say?"

Apart from the where abouts of Jimmy Hoffa's body. She sighed, "Nothing. He left after that."

So, using this example I would love to know your opinion and I'll take the consensus to the next meeting.

Happy Writing
