5) If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what’s one thing you’ll do different today?

    Mockingjay is in my stack too; she has a great style for making you want to read on!

    "I am a very quick reader – I have as I’ve said, very large, squarish eyes that seem to be able to fit over a good patch of the page." Jane Gardam

    Here’s to large, squarish eyes, perfect for Read-a-Thon-ing!
    Keep it up! #cheersmarties

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 from their  author site.   I am so thankful for their support.

Here is a little about each book: Crystal Gardens:   Evangeline Ames came to Little Dixby for rest and relaxation so she could focus on her writing career.    She is taking a break from her regular job as a paid companion working for the Lantern Street Agency. Little did she know that her life would be in danger from a previous case?   Lucas Sebastian has also come to Little Dixby on a different matter to investigate the death of his uncle Chester.   They become involved in an investigation in a case of murder and attempted murder.    Will Lucas accept the help of Ms. Ames and her associates?   There is also this garden that has supernatural energy that hides many secrets.   Can Lucas untangle the secrets of the garden?
