    Jeanne, will you be participating in this? If so, I'd love to hear your thoughts, as this year I'll be watching and learning more about this opportunity so that next year I'll be in a better position regarding coming on board.

Writing Process Blog Hop

I would like to thank my friend, Tina D.C. Hayes for tagging me for the Writing Process Blog Hop. 1. What are you currently working on? I have three works in progress, however, one is more “done” than the others. It’s a romantic thriller titled, Love, Lies and Deception (the title has been changed from Undercover Hero ). The tagline for the novel is, “What’s a girl to do when she falls in love with the man whose mission it is to bring her down?” My other two novels are paranormal thrillers which is my usual genre and the genre I’m most comfortable writing in. 2.

After receiving plenty of great reviews and ratings for Invisible , yesterday, I went through a rite of passage, I got my first ever one-star review from a reviewer on Goodreads - http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/278254425 . It's okay, really, I'm fine with it. After all, everyone is entitled to their opinion. But what really got to me was the reason why! There is a gay character in my novel. Her name is Charlie and I love her. I think she adds dimension and depth to my novel, but the reviewer hated her. The reviewer's stated "I don't do gay." So I ask, is this really a review or an opportunity for the reviewer to tout her so-called Christian values? All I ask is for a fair review. Review the book as a whole. A one-star review is fine by me, especially when it comes from a narrowminded individual. I would have thought in this day and age that such prejudice and hatred would not be so prevalent.
