Do You Believe?



True Believer is the first book in the Jeremy Marsh series by Nicholas Sparks, and is another great story.

Product DetailsSynopsis:

Jeremy has just pulled off the story of his career about a conman.   Now what will he do next?  A letter came to him by a lady named Doris from Boone Creek.  She told him about some mysterious lights that take place in their cemetery and would be he comes down to investigate?  Jeremy journeys to Boone Creek to start his investigation.  He meets the people of the town but there is one special one in particular.  Lexie Darnell is the librarian who helps Jeremy with his investigation but can she help him with more.  What will the investigation discover about the lights?

My Thoughts:

Having been a fan for a long time, I found another great book by Nicholas Sparks. I was very much entertained by the author’s description of this small town and its characters.  I think my favorite character was the mayor of the town Mayor Gurgken who helped ad some humor to the story.  The main character in this book includes an interest in science.   Science personally is one of my least favorite subjects in school.   I was as interested in the investigation but felt the story lagged a little.

What makes a story great to you?  What flavor does a story need?  Do you like romance?  What feeling do you need expressed by the author to truly enjoy a book?
What I like is a great relaxing story that occasionally provokes some thought.   Nicholas Sparks is great at evoking emotion out of his readers.

I hope you enjoy Nicholas Sparks as much as I have.  Please visit his Facebook and website.

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
