My first book is out tomorrow! My book club recently critiqued my first book, Parallel Secrets.  

These are very forthright readers. One said, "I had trouble imagining Vicky, because all I could see was you—she sounds just like you." Later she said, or maybe (I hope) it was someone else, "I didn't like Vicky at all at first. I did later, but not at first."  

I had to laugh. Even I didn’t much like Vicky at first—she’s rather pushy and tends to take people for granted. But she has a big heart, despite her dark history. She grew on me as she worked to save a little girl. I hope you’ll come to like her as much as I do.
