New blog! A lot of you have asked me what the next Anita Blake novel is about, so I came up with a way for you to guess and me to answer without me giving away too much.

On the road again. What would I do without a book? Right now I’m revisiting the brilliant @LisaCron’s #StoryGenius to solidify my thoughts on character and story. It’s all part of the process, and the job of the writer is to never stop learning and improving. 🧐 The protagonist as avatar- obviously- is what make the story meaningful for both character and reader. There’s nothing frivolous about fiction. It’s a survival tool of the highest order.
