AUTHOR, [SPEAKING TO THE ROOM OF HER CHARACTERS]:

“This is a preview of a book I’ve been working on. Each has their own character, attitude and gait- one to ten, what would you rate the book? Put it in the comments below. Which character do you like best?”

(I got a typewriter for Christmas. I did have an older computer but all my work was deleted from it… somehow. This is one of the book ideas I have. I’ve started printing it out already! And yes- I’m still working on the romance series Illegal Love as well.)
