Hi! Again, sorry to chime in late but a much needed vacation delayed me!

I like that the recipe is easy to follow–as you read a Presents book. As a reader, if the book doesn’t contain all the ingredients I don’t enjoy it. Nicely done.

I hope to get a chance to read one of your books soon!

Sabrina,

What a great post! Your recipe is wonderful. I know a lot of authors who would like it to be as easy as described! ;-)

Hi, Sabrina, from the newest newbie! :) You sure said it all right here. Sorry for the late response, but I’ve been off wrestling my new hero and heroine. I should have read your post FIRST! :)

Profuse apologies Abby and Christina for hastily typed mis-spellings have been at the ms too long!

It’s definitely a lot easier to describe what needs to be done than to put it into practise Abi, Heidi, Christine :)

Nathalie, thanks for the congrats! I think if you’re forgetting that everything has a purpose whilst you’re reading that’s actually a sign that the author is doing it right…it should all run together seemlessly instead of reading it thinking ooh it’s set here for this reason etc.

You’re right of course Margaret (great to ‘meet’ you by the way after years of reading your books!), I do think these come naturally as you build a real hero and heroine in Presents and like Kate wisely points out it’s all about the why…when I came to understand that I had a real ‘eureka’ moment.

Thanks all for dropping by and for your comments!
