One of the cardinal rules for writers… or perhaps guideline is a better term… is to pay attention to the efforts of other writers. The purpose of reading their novel or listening to their audio book is to fine tune your own writing techniques.
To that end, I attended a luncheon and author talk yesterday at An Unlikely Story in Plainville, MA. Visiting author Jane Green delighted the sold-out audience with her tales of her personal life, her story inspirations, her editors and publishers, and her return to more character-driven novels.
The event price included a copy of her latest book ‘The Sunshine Sisters’, which she graciously autographed before taking this photo with me.
Now I’m doubly inspired to finish writing my second Gwen Andrews story titled ‘Where There’s Smoke, There’s Trouble.’
