There are a lot of new subscribers to this newsletter, so I wanted to introduce (or reintroduce if you’ve been here awhile) myself. I’m a novelist who has published seven books. I’ve been writing most of my life, and publishing for twenty years. People often ask “what kind of books do you write” and the answer to that is: My books transport you to a place you haven’t been before. I tell stories that are fast-paced, imaginative, and often involve elements of mythology and history. Thrillers, mysteries, literary fiction, gothic fiction, suspense– these are the categories my novels have fallen under, but I like to think that I’m creating a category of my own.
I love seeing pix of your wonderfully messy first drafts--here and on Insta. I, too, love that wild freedom of the first draft. So many writers I know disagree with that! Thanks for this glimpse into your world--and the interview with Patty!
