Always have been. Always will be. All my books start with one situation and one character. The become the first scene I mentally write. Over time and through a little obsessing, a character becomes a whole person, and their life is an extension of the one scene that started it all. What's the first scene in each of my books? Now that would be telling, wouldn't it?

Put it this way. The original scene often ends up being relatively minor in the completed story. (less)

2015 Reviews for you

I am pretty bad about writing reviews. I rate almost every book I read. Sometimes I go on a hiatus then forget, but for the most part I have rated every book I have read over the last three years on Goodreads. I spent a little time today writing some reviews, some good and others not great, but I wanted to highlight a few books that I have read in 2015.
