What advice do you have for someone who would like to write a book? I have always wanted to do a children's book however now I am thinking more and more about an adult novel....
Laura Kaye
Hi Alicia - First, read widely in the genre you want to write. Second, make some preparations to write the book - do character sheets so develop your character, outline some chapters to organize your thoughts about the plot. Third, just start writing - the biggest obstacle to writing a novel is finishing, so dive in while your passion for it is hot! Fourth, revise, revise, revise. Find a critique partner who will give you honest, critical feedback. There are also lots of great books on writing a novel you could check out to hone your craft. Good luck!

Hi Laura. I love your books, I've read ALL your books. I have ALL your books. I've just finished re reading the Hearts of the Anemoi. I was wondering. Will you return there ever again? Perhaps give Alastor his HEA. He was trapped and tortured most of his life. He deserves some happiness! Thank you for all your works! I always feel like I'm right there with all your characters. They so F-E-E-L. I feel with them! MDC
