Imagine you’re at a dinner party and you hear someone approach an author and ask: “So what’s your book about?”
It’s an innocuous enough question. And no, that person is not trying to get the author.
When you’re halfway through a book, have you ever wondered what would be the best ending?
The resolution of the plot? The characters reaching their goals? The characters finding some peace? The antagonist receiving their comeuppance? A positive change in the world?
“Did you really write a novel about a pandemic during a pandemic?”
Though sometimes I’m tempted to shrug or roll my eyes, those are not appropriate responses to that question.
(Trust me on this.)
It took me a while to be able to write about this, but as we’re approaching the initial launch date of Purged Souls, I figured it was time.
How did we get here?
Well, I had a story idea. No, not a story idea, more like musings about how two old friends on opposite sides of a divide would interact if they only saw each other once a year.
