Last night I found myself in a heated discussion with my daughter over my trilogy. I am reformatting the stories under my publishing company control and I am going to insert a Prologue. I truly hate prologues, but apparently we live in a period of time where readers want a […]
I have seen two movie versions of Les Miserables. One with Liam Neeson and the other with Hugh Jackman. Both versions provide a moving story based on the book, which I have yet to read. The most recent one, a musical, I have to admit annoyed me at times with […]
