Stand Alone vs. Series Novels

When I conceived the idea for my first mystery/suspense novel, Mixed Messages, my goal was to write a stand alone novel. I planned to introduce and develop my characters, tell their story and, by the…Continue

Writing a series can be a challenge. When you're writing the second or third book, it can be difficult to keep track of all the details you’ve already written in the first book. As G.

Orientation to writing is not the same as being taught in high school. "Play it forward" means listen to someone who writes and sells.

"What if" I sold a million books? Did I win the lottery?
