My First Favorite of 2017!

Thank you to  Mira and Kimberly Belle for a copy of THE MARRIAGE LIE.  This copy was given to me in exchange for an honest review. 
Kimberly has recently released her next novel THE MARRIAGE LIE.  If you liked The Last Breath and The Ones WeTrust then you will love this one.  This story is engrossing , and will have your full attention to the very end.
Synopsis: 
Iris has the perfect marriage.  Her husband Will  has a great job!  They just bought their first house in  a wealthy neighborhood in Atlanta.  Iris works at a private school in the area.  This morning Will gives her a diamond bracelet.  He will leave  on  a business trip to Orlando Florida to speak at a conference.  Iris proceeds to her job as a guidance counselor at a private school.  A plane crashed in Missouri, and the story is all over the news.  This plane was headed for Seattle Washington.  Iris is concerned  but feels that everything is okay because Will is not on this plane.  She goes to the assembly with the head master to help those students affected by the crash.  Meanwhile Iris has been getting many  phone calls from her mother and her twin brother.  Will is in Florida.  Then the television shows Will’s name listed as one of the deceased from the crash.  If he went to Florida how could he be dead?  What evidence does the airline have to confirm his death?  Who is this friend Corbin?
My Thoughts: 
I loved THE MARRIAGE LIE!  It has an original plot.  Readers will want to flip ahead to find out did Will survive?  What really happened?  These questions create a real page turner from beginning to end.  It was also an easy read as well!  If a reader truly craves escapism then this is the novel for you!

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

Image
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...
