I am definitely learning to be a better writer with every book I publish but this is something I still find hard to do and have to really work at. Perfect characters do not good stories make and even though my fans like how “smart” my characters are, I still have to make them “human”. Which means exposing their vulnerabilities. Which could then translate into my vulnerabilities. And what about those sex scenes? *Gulp* Ah, the rabbit hole of introspection. But still, we need to do it if we want to write fantastic, gripping stories and characters that will stay with our readers for a long time.

Don’t let it bother you, Lanette. Not everyone’s going to like our book. I, for one, hated “Girl on a Train.” I’m definitely in the minority.
