That was when I realized I needed to be a writer.<br /><br />My book isn't really paranormal romance, although, as Molly said, there are elements of the paranormal there. After all, my characters are entering a project to create metahumans.Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18161021474214030168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-79358744527700648002012-01-29T03:02:34.545-05:002012-01-29T03:02:34.545-05:00One of my first published stories was about a ghos...One of my first published stories was about a ghostly house and a calling card.

I loved the healing element of the story...the way the garden awakened life and hope in Mary and Colin.

It's more of a subplot, but it's big enough that we can include it in the genre. :)Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18161021474214030168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-81707866886729568122012-01-28T13:50:37.634-05:002012-01-28T13:50:37.634-05:00Congratulations to both of you on the releases of ...Congratulations to both of you on the releases of your books. <br /><br />My question is for Molly.

And by the way, I love both of your covers. The one looks like a real kick-ass heroine and the other looks like a beautiful coming of age type of young love story - like the movie MY GIRL.<br /><br />Looking forward to learning more about both your books.Sharonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-37041474921324711192012-01-28T13:35:15.979-05:002012-01-28T13:35:15.979-05:00Yes, thanks so much for the support here, y'al...Yes, thanks so much for the support here, y'all. This is lovely!<br /><br />I'm with Molly; this is a debut novel for me, too. I think I walked around in a daze for about a week after I got a contract, and then another week when it got released!<br /><br />I'm excited for Lady Thief, too. It's definitely not based in anything in real life, because I'm not that exciting, but it's the kind of life I dreamed about from the time I was ten through college. I guess the real inspiration for it came from an image in my head of a black-clad girl climbing a wall to steal something, and the book sort of wrote itself from there.<br /><br />Shadow_kohler, I think my favorite authors are JK Rowling, Anthony Horowitz (whose spy novels are fantastic and put mine to shame!), and Agatha Christie. I am a girl of simple tastes. Give me intrigue, a good plotline, and believable characters, and I'll read just about anything.Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18161021474214030168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-18790679982993250552012-01-28T12:11:59.538-05:002012-01-28T12:11:59.538-05:00Thanks for your kind words about the books.

I have been writing nonfiction articles for years--even though fiction has always been my first love. The story The Twilight Garden kind of moved in and took over my life. The setting is a real place.<br /><br />Yes, this is a debut novel for me. I have to keep pinching myself to help me believe this is all happening.<br /><br />Glad you liked the pix on the web site. I normally sell these as stock photos but would consider selling copies.<br /><br />Thanks for the party.
