why do u like writing horror books?

I don't write horror books. I write suspense novels. That's a very different genre. No sensationalized violence and gore.

oh okay

Lois, I'm currently thinking of writing a novel. What advice do you have?

Just sit down and do it. Writing is a self-taught craft and it comes with practice. I don't know of any shortcuts. Good luck!

Where do you get all your inspiration from?

My plots are a combination of personal experience and an over-active imagination.

ohh cool. I really liked Summer Of Fear.

Hey Lois. Could i send you a rough draft of the first Chapter in my book?

tht's cool

I'm sorry, but I receive so many requests to read and critique manuscripts that I no longer do so. If I do that for one person, then I'd have to do it for the next person, and I'd soon be spending so much of my life reading and critiquingother people's work that I wouldn'thave time for my own work.

that's true
