I just followed you back.<br /><br />Shauna, excellent point. Editors help us avoid getting bogged down in nerdy details of our trade.<br /><br />Jack, what was your fave dino?

It's so predictable yet unpredictable.<br /><br />Heather, my friend and I went to see Jurassic Park and I was thinking it was a nice science-fiction movie only to be completely terrified by those damn velociraptors! One of the scariest movies I've seen. I read the book after and loved it.<br /><br />Wow Roland, I haven't read any of those authors.

But we are good listeners. :) No slo-mo sexy librarian scenes for you? <br /><br />Hi Kyra, the first novels are great but then they become a bit formulaic. One of my favorite characters is Milo, the gay detective who is Alex's friend.<br /><br />Nicki, I love your city! I took the blue line to RT and I think I'm here kind of early. But there's a workshop at 10:00 about writing action scenes in romance novels that I'm excited to attend.Jennifer Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13300124780126853962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1868326771039467931.post-47706171186406952632012-04-12T10:22:26.509-04:002012-04-12T10:22:26.509-04:00One of the major reasons I was drawn to the writin...One of the major reasons I was drawn to the writings of John Donald, Raymond Chandler, Ross MacDonald, and Robert B Parker was their insight into human psychology.
