So if it weren’t for the internet, I’d feel completely cut-off from civilization.<br /><br />Love your blog, by the way.<br />James Litherlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02188011697961417962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345280289544561909.post-4464218652713919612015-12-09T03:04:04.843-05:002015-12-09T03:04:04.843-05:00I noticed that your author bio states that you liv...I noticed that your author bio states that you live "In the wilds of West Tennessee" and I was wondering about that.

Both books could potentially be the start of new series, but it’s way too early to tell.James Litherlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02188011697961417962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345280289544561909.post-29010712451656960072015-12-08T09:39:17.006-05:002015-12-08T09:39:17.006-05:00Love the cover.

I'...Thanks! You look pretty prolific yourself.<br /><br />I'm definitely more of a 'pantser' - although the amount of prep I do for each book varies (with the first in a series requiring more) it never approaches anything like an outline. As soon as I have a good enough grasp on the idea and the main characters to know how the story should start, I write the beginning of the book. And then I keep writing to find out what happens next!<br /><br />Good luck! And I second the thanks to Jonel for hosting these giveaways - they're great for both writers and readers.James Litherlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02188011697961417962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345280289544561909.post-44439276760625888122015-11-30T16:54:59.182-05:002015-11-30T16:54:59.182-05:00Oh, forgot to say, "Hi, Jonel!"
