In my youth I was forever imagining romantic scenarios.I have learned that: Category romance is one big cliché because they are all the
same. HOWEVER, what makes one better than another is how the author CREATES SCENES AND CHARACTERS THAT ARE MEMORABLE.
In the 1990's I submitted a manuscript to Mills and Boon, for which I actually received feedback rather than the standard rejection letter, which was encouraging. I'm afraid I did
not follow this up with my second MS as I had only written 3 chapters and life got in the way.
I started this blog in 2010. I love Literary Fiction and Realistic Fiction and Chick Lit; Children's & YA and I'm a sucker for well written Romance, but which should I write?
My current WIP is a chicklit, realistic fiction, suspence novel, laced with romance.

I began participating in Romantic Friday Writers Challenges, which honed my romantic writing skills for which I am delighted to say have been awarded the Featured Writer

Young Adult Literature
I have always enjoyed losing myself in a good story,a concept that seems to epitomize Young Adult and Middle Grade Fiction.
Of course the fabulous Harry Potter series by J K Rowling spans these two age genres.
Other favourites are:
Frank Cotterill Boyce; Patrick Ness; Stephanie Meyer
Have you read John Lenahan's Shadowmagic?
Naturally my hope is to capture something of that magic and adventure in my own writing.
