Delivering the Goods
Yes, I'm writing a fantasy adventure series, but I'm also delivering the goods. By that I mean writing what I think you all (my fans) will love. Yes, I listen to you. When you say you want me to bump up the heat on the Raine/Mychael/Tam relationship, I do it. And yes, Otto and Diana, I hear you loud and clear when you say, "More Tam!!!" I aim to please. ; )
When I'm writing, I write the kind of book that I want to read. I ask myself what would be fun here, how can I up the danger there, how can I make that scene more steamy. But I'm also very much aware of what you all would like. I also feel like I have my agent, editor, and copy editor standing over my shoulder -- and that's a good thing. If I write something not true to a character, don't develop a subplot completely enough, don't pay off what I set up 50 pages ago -- I immediately hear Kristin or Anne's voice telling me that "you know better than that." And I fix what I've done wrong. Immediately. And my copy editor will be glad to know that I'm being consistent with my punctuation, etc.
Always feel free to tell me what (or who) you like and would like to see more of. Each book will introduce additional supporting characters. Let me know what you think. Like I said, I aim to please. ; )
Coming up tomorrow: Unlikely muse -- Andy the Greyhound
It's Wednesday; we're halfway there!

No! No! MORE MYCHAEL!
Rest assured, there's plenty of Tam AND Mychael. What can I say? Raine hasn't made up her mind yet. When she does, she's promised to let me know. ; )
LOL I'd give you my preference, but I'm like Raine--I can't make up my mind either. Just more of BOTH Mychael and Tam. :]
Well, Tam's fun to play with, but Mychael's the one to settle down and make little elflings with, I think.
:o)
Little elflings. Awwwww.
:-D YES MORE TAM PLEEEASE!!! That line brought a big goofy grin to my face.
But then again I'm always rooting for the "bad boy" ;-)
Not to worry, Otto. There are plenty of steamy Tam/Raine scenes in Armed & Magical. Just a little bit longer to wait. ; )
Good words.
Thank you, Charlene!
