Most of my stories tend to be about losing something and then finding something better. <br /><br />Janice~Janice Seagraveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576031935823587485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-72293101263044361002011-04-22T23:27:26.115-04:002011-04-22T23:27:26.115-04:00Excellent post.

I agree with you that no one really knows us, not even ourselves. I read a book this week by Norwegian author Per Petterson, Out Stealing Horses, and his protagonist says something to the effect that people think they know you by talking with you and asking questions.

What I love the most are series with a group of people in the community and you learn about some of them throughout a series.

Love your books and themes.<br /><br />To be honest though, I read a story for the characters.

Seems my hero or heroine (often both are searching for HOME, Love, and acceptance). My stories tend to be about small town life (almost always Texas) and quirky characters. Though I also write a lot of paranormals, my shifters long for home, family, and a soul mate and they also tend to live in small towns.Regina Carlyslehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316730032624449669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-75888858878235885612011-04-22T09:26:26.896-04:002011-04-22T09:26:26.896-04:00I have always gone gaga for paranormal and alien a...I have always gone gaga for paranormal and alien alpha males. My first ms was about a race of alpha aliens coming back to earth to reconnect with their ancestors. I will basically read anything paranormal or sci-fi but contemporary really has to strike a cord with me for me to buy it. But it always has to have an alpha male in it. They just make me weak!Marie Rose Dufourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02919200697291374700noreply@blogger.com
