It's word of mouth as much as anything that gets people talking about a writer.<BR/><BR/>"Seatbelt Suspense" is a brilliant tag, Brandilyn. Original. Descriptive. Poetic. <BR/><BR/>So my thoughts about the direction of your career--it seems to me you are doing more than standard fare commercial suspense (though I admit to being unfamiliar with this particular genre). At least in <I>Dead of Night</I> your protag had depth, and your prose was evocative. Can you do more of this and still do the suspense, or will that stretch your readers' patience?Rebecca LuElla Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823550402103559922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10583449.post-1117816152134614792005-06-03T09:29:00.000-07:002005-06-03T09:29:00.000-07:00Can you do a "nom de plume" for the Dearing family...Can you do a "nom de plume" for the Dearing family? I do like the idea of family reunion gone bad, but then suspense is what I love to read, and hope to muster up the courage to write. <BR/><BR/>I never imagained there was so much pressure in the publishing world to "brand" yourself - to put yourself in a box (or so it seems) . . .D.

We sure don't know the inside scoop sometimes, do we? I know you had to drop the Dearing family at one point--I just didn't realize how that made you feel. <BR/><BR/>I know I'm a pup in this business, but it's something I've been thinking about lately--I probably won't always get to write what "I" want--not all the time. Well, I could, but if it's not what a Marketing Dept wants to sell, my proposal would stack up with the other unsold ones.

(Think Agatha Christie )Maybe Paige could be a Dearing and in the next book she could find herself in hot water again and she could run into Annie or Chelsea.
