That's possibly because I'm lucky, but I don't think so. Too many other writers whom I respect say that they don't believe in it either.

By the time I sit to write, I already know more or less what I want to say (though it's important and fun to leave room for surprises!).(less)

But the best part is when I've written "The End" on a final draft and know that I've created something that I'd want to buy and read even if I hadn't written it.(less)

Jane and the Stillroom Maid by Stephanie Barron

Although I love the entire Austen Mysteries series so far, some of the individual books can drag. Barron's version of Austen is always a great, funny, observant, courageous detective, so she and her supporting cast and all of the historical details that Barron includes are enough to keep me interested. But some of the books have had stretches in which I was eager to get back to the investigati Read more of this blog post »

Michael Michael said: " I live in Minnesota, so while I was vacationing in Florida I picked this up. A Stephen King story about a Minnesotan transplanted to Florida seemed just the thing.

I loved King's early stuff, but hadn't read anything by him in a long time. I was afrai

Reading the Dracula and Frankenstein volumes of this series set a high expectation that Creature from the Black Lagoon and now The Invisible Man haven't been able to live up to.

Le Fanu is synonymous with Victorian Ghost Stories and there's a lot of evidence for why that is in this collection. When he's on, he's really on and can still chill a couple of centuries later.

Not every story in the collection is that good, but they

My least favorite of these Universal Monsters comics so far. The art is good, but the design of the Creature is cuter than I want it to be. Not quite Kawaii Creature, but heading in that direction.
