What might an inattentive reader miss in your work?

I wouldn't think of it that way. They'll get what was there for them. If they enjoy it enough to read it again later, maybe they'll get another layer of it, or feel a different POV character's perspective more. There […]

#WritersCoffeeClub 6/10: What might an inattentive reader miss in your work?
Well, I suppose a truly inattentive reader could potentially miss just about anything…
I imagine a lot of people would miss the small acts of homage to Ursula K Le Guin…

#WritersCoffeeClub 6th Oct ~ What might an inattentive reader miss in your work?

1. My place and character names are typically thought-out and researched, and compliment the story.

#WritersCoffeeClub Oct. 6: What might an inattentive reader miss in your work?

I dunno, but I would like to know, since I try to explain the subtleties in the stories in my copious footnotes and commentary.

(Since these are 19th century German folk tales, such explanations are very much needed […]

#WritersCoffeeClub Oct 5. What haunts the narrative of your current work?

The fact that our fragile progress toward peace, cooperation, and recognizing the dignity and worth of all humans is under attack and is being reversed in many parts of the world.

#WritersCoffeeClub Oct 5: What haunts the narrative of your current work?

The next conflict between the MC and the antagonists. I need it to be funnier. It seems too canned right now.

#WritersCoffeeClub 5 October. What haunts the narrative of your current work?

My concept (a satirical look at the brain as a haunted mansion) is full of ghosts.
The question is how the staff can keep doing their jobs, even as the Mansion is haunted and the lights flicker.
What does it take to […]

#WritersCoffeeClub 5/10: What haunts the narrative of your current work?

The plague. In the 1350's people were living in a post-apocalyptic world. Populations had halved - yet wars were still fought, merchants still traded and courts, both legal and royal, still functioned.

There’s a clue in the title: The Skilthorn Inheritance. There’s been dispute in the past, people who hold grudges, and it’s a highly desirable…

#WritersCoffeeClub – 5th Oct. What haunts the narrative of your current work?

A previous understanding, one that failed to associate rape with murder because in the "before times", rape was barely a crime.

Not so now.

Fortunately, one character's father was a crown prosecutor. He knew […]

#WritersCoffeeClub Oct 4: How isolated are your characters in your current WIP?

Physically: They're stuck half-way up a mountain in an electrical blackout zone in a storm. And the bodies are piling up.

Mentally: Cantor Mason screwed up his last case very messily, very publicly, and in a […]

#WritersCoffeeClub Oct 3: "How isolated are your characters in your current work in progress?"

Not particularly. In The Embassy stories, Benjamin often feels alone because he gets into his own head a lot. But he has a good support network that brings him around.

#WritersCoffeeClub 10/4: "How isolated are your characters in your current WIP?"

They're stuck in this book. Fortunately, they are sent all over the book's world.
