Welcome to the 2013 A to Z Challenge!
This year, I’m
focusing on two themes: Emotions and
grammar,
depending on which
letter we’re on each day.
I’ll be sharing
mostly what I’ve learned about writing emotion into a novel, but I’ll also be
throwing in a few key grammar lessons, pet peeves I’ve picked up while working
as an editor.
Here’s the thing: I
couldn’t figure out a topic for emotion or
grammar that began with K,
so I thought I’d go a
little off course. But if that’s not
good enough, you could always go to my
K
post from last year. Either way, I
appreciate your indulgence.
__________
K is for Kidnapped: to steal, carry off, or abduct by force or
fraud, especially for use as a hostage or to extract ransom.
I’m sure you’re wondering why I picked kidnapped. Well, if you haven’t yet read my book, The
Mistaken, then you might not know it’s a huge part of the story. Funny thing is, the hard part of pulling that
off was making the reader sympathize with a protagonist who commits such a
heinous act, not to mention quite a few others.
But, I must have done a decent enough job because…
Not only is The
Mistaken still loitering in Amazon’s Top Rated in Romantic Suspense, it’s
also ranked fourth on Goodreads’ Kidnapped
list, along with CJ Roberts’ Dark Duet Series and Lucy Christopher’s
Stolen, all of which I enjoyed.
I’d love to have your support, too, so if you’re a Goodreads

Thank you! Thank you
verra much!
