Interview with Author – Bard Constantine @BardConstantine
Author Bio: This is where I get the chance to explain myself. Listen very carefully because you can't hear the written word.

Time and Pace in writing novels – Guest Post by Jean Gill @writerjeangill
Time and Pace in novels ‘I jumped out of the helicopter, bullets whizzing close enough to nick one arm. Then only air hit me and that was hard enough to confuse with bullets. Free fall was not what I’d had in mind for the afternoon and, if the ‘chute didn’t open, my planner was cleared for good.’ Pacy, exciting, all-action, in the style of a thriller and making the reader want to know who’s after the narrator, how s/he will survive and what adventures will follow. Suppose the book carries on … [Read more...] about Time and Pace in writing novels – Guest Post by Jean Gill @writerjeangill
