Come Visit Scotland by Starlight by Nancy Volkers



The Chicklitplus Blog Tour is making another stop at Writer’s Corner.  Nancy Volkers is sharing her new book Scotland by Starlight a sequel to The Scottish Fairy Tale.   Who believes in fairy tales?

Synopsis:
Cassie is moving to Scotland to live with her boyfriend Ralph McNair.  She is seeking some permanence to their relationship.  Cassie is gradually able to cultivate a life with Ralph, but can she let go of her independence and depend on Ralph?   Cassie surprises herself when she decides to let go and experience life in Scotland with Ralph’s family and her new friends.  She proposes to Ralph this time around and now it is time to plan the wedding.

My Thoughts:
Who doesn’t like a fairytale that includes a princess and a prince?  I loved the story of Ralph and Cassie.   The kind of love shared between the both of them is a rare kind of love.    I loved the growth in the characters and how lively and memorable they are.  The author researched the Scottish culture well and represented those characters well. My only warning is beware of the Scottish language.    Some Scottish language is used in the book.  This book is a very enjoyable read and I will highly recommend to anyone.  I look forward to my next Nancy Volkers novel.

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...
