Reflection Point by Emily March:  The town of Eternity Springs includes some married couples with one very single sheriff. This sheriff needs a mate. Zach Turner the Sheriff hears about a new resident Savannah Sophie Moore. She is opening a bath store with special scents something like Bath and Body works. Savannah makes friends easily in the town but can she accept the town matriarch Celeste Blessing? She brings reminders of Savannah’s past which she would like to forget. When Zach figures out who she is will this affect their relationship?

A Girl Like You by Maureen Lindley:  Angelina is the small town in California that Satori Baker calls home during the late 1930's. The Bakers' are living on a farm that barely brings in enough money to make ends meet. To add to the difficulties of growing up in the last years of the depression, and the angst associated with becoming a young woman, Satori is dealing with the fact that she is half Japanese and half American. As a half caste, Satori is too American for the Japanese and too Japanese for the Whites in Angelina. With all the challenges Satori is currently dealing with, she is about to find her world turned upside down and inside out when America declares war on the Japan in 1941. The attack on Pearl Harbor leaves Satori without her father, her home, and her friends.

Saving Gracie by Terry Lee:  Kathryn is absolutely convinced that her daughter Gracie cannot handle life without her. Gracie is married with two children. She also cannot do anything without consulting her mother. What happens when both are without one another? What will both learn? Where will life take Gracie without her mother’s guidance?

    Hey, Jencey! A Girl Like You sounds kind of awesome. George Takei really brought the Japanese internment camps to a younger generation's knowledge. I don't know if we even covered them! Reflection Point sounds fun too, but that's because I'm kind of addicted to those bath product stores! Black Friday is a *nightmare* for me!

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...
