Words of wisdom I heard in the past said to learn from the things you like about an author, but to develop your own style and voice. I never even knew I had a narrative voice until someone told me.

I've never gone through that, so I can't even imagine how much it hurts.<BR/><BR/>The first time I ever heard from a reader who had experienced the same tragedy as a character in my book, I felt terrible. It seemed as though I was just sitting in my safe happy house making up stories while others out there were experiencing pain and sadness.<BR/><BR/>But then her words, like yours, made me realize that stories about people who rise above situations are healing and bring hope to many. That's what the romance genre is all about really, stories about commitment, growth, love and hope.<BR/><BR/>Whenever I dedicate a book to readers, I really mean it. I write these books for you. I think about my readers when I'm creating and when I'm writing, and I think that knowing you'll be reading my words helps me write the best book possible.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing, Katrina.Cheryl St.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00947267011326863581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14505413.post-1154695877996657172006-08-04T07:51:00.000-05:002006-08-04T07:51:00.000-05:00I have just finished reading the Prairie Wife (whi...I have just finished reading the Prairie Wife (which was the most wonderful book and really helped me (and my DH) with the loss of my miscarriage--thanks to Amy and Jesse on the way to healing.
