At the end of my typing "The End" of my romance/adventure novel, The Unexplored Heart, one of the minor characters snorted, "Now that you've got that plot out of the way, I want a book of my own." <br />Esther Wooster is the wife of the intrepid archaeologist who does much of the research for her husband, deciding whether or not his latest trek is worth pursuing. Long in the background, she came out of those pages demanding a sequel, with her as the main character.Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11158324177654901286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-27260693773591291652012-03-24T02:19:25.830-07:002012-03-24T02:19:25.830-07:00Hi Nora.

"Speculative" is a fabulous genre because absolutely anything can happen. <br />I agree with TD, that having you as a neighbor would be quite wonderful.

I LOVE reincarnation/time travel themes. <br />An escapologist escapes from things as a public entertainment, usually on stage - like Houdini. I was the Lovely Tanya, dressed in a red velvet bikini and blonde wig, I tied him up, stuffed him in a straightjacket, locked him in a trunk and - the piece de resistance - put him in a full-size guillotine, counted to 30 and dropped the blade. Luckily, he always escaped in time!Jenny Twisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15716569675973035423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-534299829782676702012-03-23T10:07:00.436-07:002012-03-23T10:07:00.436-07:00Hi Jody

One of my favourites was a Nile boatman who sang Elvis songs - no idea where he came from, but I ended up giving him a larger role to play in the story - or maybe HE decided he wanted to play a larger role? <br /><br />You know I loved Domingo's Angel, Jenny - and Rosalba was an amazing character!

Speculative fiction is a great term! I'm writing a reincarnation timetravel that has a non-linear twist.

You should write a children's book. It would be a lot easier." HA! What little he knows about the writing world. It's difficult to write and publish any book, no matter what genre. I write contemporary romance because I believe in the happily ever after. Who doesn't want to be loved?

It's always a pleasure to read an article (or a book) by you.<br />I did notice that some authors have a hidden theme in their writing, an element that unifies their books. JK Rowling had "Love" in general, like mother's love. You have romance.<br />All great authors have it :-)<br />And like T. D.
