I wanted to write a story that was different than what I've done before - so I decided to write dual love stories that will keep the reader wondering how the stories will come together by the end.

Above all, a query letter is a sales pitch and it is the single most important page an unpublished writer will ever write. It's the first impression and will either open the door or close it. It's that important, so don't mess it up. Mine took 17 drafts and two weeks to write.

Things changed, people changed, and the world went rolling along right outside the window.

Everyone makes mistakes, even if some are worse than others. Accidents happen.

Our lives can't be measured by our final years, of this I am sure.
