I'd also say to learn all of the rules. Every single writer has different rules for their writing. Once you've learned them, break them, figure out for yourself what rules you want to apply to your own prose.

And don't listen to your mother. No matter what she tells you about your writing you're never going to believe her. (less)

Charles answered Christine's question: Charles Heathcote
Yes ~ there are currently five books planned with the current storyline "Whatever Happened to Joanna Hollinshead?". After which, I might have more standalone mysteries. I'll keep writing them and hopefully folk will keep reading them.

Julian IT'S QUITE ALL RIGHT, CHARLIE. I UNDERSTAND THE FASCINATION. And besides, they say that stalking is yet another form of, however destructive it may be, loving <3, AND I NEED ALL THE LUV THAT I COULD FROM THE WORLD.

Now, time for a bit of shameless self-promotion. Have you stalked my YT channel, dearie?

I've almost finished SBS, too ü!
