Hi Paula!
Thanks so much for checking in! Well... it's taken me a while to flesh out the latest storyline, but I've got it and started writing last week. I hope to have it completed and to my editor within two months. I will definitely keep you updated! Thanks again.

Hey Michelle!
Thanks for the question (and the great review)! When I think about it carefully, the concept of Angela's character came first - but honestly, she was developed only a few seconds before the storyline with Philip and Jonathan. I won't go into detail here, (it's a long answer) but if you read my blog, "Where the HELL did Angela come from?", you'll be able to see why I responded to this question the way I did. Thanks again for the question and I hope it's one of many...!

The Thrill of Reading Psychological Twists

There’s a particular kind of chill that runs down your (and my) spine—not from a jump scare or a gory scene, but from a moment when everything you thought you knew shifts. You turn a page, and suddenly the story reconfigures itself. That character you trusted? Not who they seemed. That moment you glossed over? A carefully placed clue. That ending? It doesn’t just surprise you—it makes you question

Making Connections: 436. ONE LAST LIE by Rob Kaufman 10 52 Nov 23, 2012 05:03AM  
“Just because some people are fueled by drama doesn't mean you have to attend the performance.”
Cheryl Richardson

“Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard,
It seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come.”
William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

Rob Rosen Rob, hi. Hope all is well. Since we’re Goodreads friends, I thought I’d share my latest novel, Midlife Crisis, with you.

"Rob Rosen does madcap gay humor better than anyone else writing today. Midlife Crisis is no exception." - Neil Plakcy, author of The Mahu Investigations

I hope you can pick up a copy. As a special thanks for your time, feel free to message me on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/therobrosen) for a free PDF copy of any of my other 9 novels, which you can find here: http://www.therobrosen.com

All the best,

Rob Rosen


Monika Merry Christmas Rob!
