That we are interested in the drama and tension rather than the smooth running of lives. Shows why the news is such a popular show.<br />Thankfully the conflict and crisis we create stays on the page! Good luck with your story.

A few critters said I spent too long describing the life which two young soldiers led in Oz before they went into battle on the Kokoda Track in New Guinea in 1942.

This is Man against Self as much as Man against Man and I suspect your story will also become Man against Nature. Well, I know it will, because I've read the first book in the Chronicles and I was gripped from beginning to end. No wonder you have such a huge fan following, Rosalie. I can't wait for your 8 books to be released, beginning in September.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00435753141533984134noreply@blogger.com
