Please welcome fellow author Maggie Thom on the second day of PIF Week.

When I visited her website to gather information for this post, I came across a LOT of great books and interesting information but this sentence caught my eye and fired my imagination:

It got me thinking because I do that as a reader but I certainly do that as a writer as well. You didn’t think my erotic stories were autobiographical, did you?  😀

Seeing as Maggie writes suspense and thrillers, I guess it’s fair to assume she writes about adventures she’d never do in real life, am I right? LoL

Authors pour their hearts and souls into their books. They’ve spent countless hours over a keyboard whipping characters and plots into shape.

No one will click on it online.

When starting the design process begin with a vague concept. Don’t be too stringent in the beginning.

“One Woman’s Path to Higher Consciousness and Freedom from Environmental and Other Chronic Illnesses” chronicles Jennie’s travels in search of relief when traditional…
