But I hope Book 2 will be less problematic than my first book...

They raised some interesting discussion points and I'm now thinking about whether Geraldine should keep the same sergeant in Book 2. I'd written him out and was going to bring him back in Book 3 but having set up the character, I might keep him in. What to do, what to do? (maybe stop blogging and get back to writing...)Leigh Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15080517449825380527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326835832552443337.post-90505430901983084112009-07-03T05:50:01.626-07:002009-07-03T05:50:01.626-07:00Think calm thoughts, I would send you soothing vib...Think calm thoughts, I would send you soothing vibes if I could.
