Some days you'll be so excited and joyous you couldn't imagine doing anything else. Some days you may feel discouraged or defeated, maybe even believe your own writing is terrible and you wonder what the hell you were thinking. It will pass. Take a break. Read for enjoyment not comparison to your own work. Listen to music. Just step away for a moment, but don't give up. Keep going.(less)

I remember very clearly I was going to the refrigerator for some sweet tea, and as I was filling my glass I heard a young woman in my head say: "No, I don't think you understand," in an impatient, frustrated tone. I saw an interrogation room with a dark-haired young woman sitting at the table being interrogated by an officer in street clothes. I got the sense they were familiar with one another, but not family or a couple. I also just "knew" she'd seen someone killed and was refusing to admit it or give information. From there I was so excited about this woman and her story I started typing! (less)

I'm glad I listened to a few of the reviews that advised giving the second book a chance although the first one irritated me. This was a much better read. It seemed to flow better and the characters' decisions made more sense and weren't as seemingly ...more

“I’m stepping into an entirely different world, aren’t I?” Analise asked, scanning the trees. “I’m not really a part of yours. I’m nothing more than an interloper, but I’m not fully in mine anymore. I’m stuck between the two, on the fringes of both, not belonging in either.”
