J.D. Webb's Blog: Dave's What ifs

I loved my original publisher for Smudge. L & L Dreamspell a small independent, suffered the loss of one of the owners and had to cease operation. Fortunately Wild Rose Press liked the book and republished it in Feb 2014. I'm thrilled to have one of my babies back in print and ebook.

I've become a caregiver for my wife. Something I always said I would not be able to do. Funny how the man upsatairs uses your own words and thoughts to move you. One thing I know for sure, without His guidance and a few good books, I would be lost.
A book allows you to escape reality and dive into another place. I for one don't watch reality shows on TV. It seems that the participants are seldom anyone I would love to spend time with. But a book allows you to get to know characters you can pull for and those who you want to see get their just desserts.
That is exactly how I approach writing. I want to make my protagonists grow and my antagonists suffer. But I will keep my pledge to never include excessive violence or gore. After all, it's the story that's important, not how gruesome it can be.
