How do you take your novel? Romantic, Mysterious, Suspenseful? All of the above? Get it here

You can have romance and mystery too.

I insist!

I enjoy writing a 50/50 split of romance and mystery, with a smooth line of suspense threading through both. What that means is not only will the mystery be suspenseful, but so will the romance. My goal is to keep you in suspense throughout the entire novel whether I'm giving clues of who the proverbial "bad guy" is or building up the relationship between my protagonists.

And to give you a sample of my writing, my publisher is offering my first romantic-suspense bestseller at only .99 cents for a limited time.

According to readers, She Belongs to Me is a sensual and gripping read that will have you falling in love and wondering if you can trust anyone right up to the last page.

To prologue or not to prologue, that is the question. Readers, please weigh in!

Personally, I love prologues. They get you right into the action whether it was in the past or something exciting that is to come. But that’s exactly why most agents’ blogs I’ve read say not to use them. Paraphrasing…“If you need a prologue, then your story must not be strong enough…” Hmm … well, I like them, and I use them. But I’m curious what readers think, and I’d love you to weigh in. AND, if you have some great examples, please leave the title in the comment section. Now … here’s what I’ve noticed. Plenty of bestselling books have used them, even though they aren’t always called prologues . Same diff in my opinion. My biggest example is ‘Twilight’. If that little blurb wasn’t in the beginning, I don’t think I would have made it through the first chapter. How about movies? I don’t watch a lot. But I’ve started to notice how many have “prologues”. I also don’t have cable, but I have NetFlix, and hubby has just started watching ‘Breaking Bad’. Okay … I...
