I found out about it this morning and put in a pre-order a couple of minutes later. I've been waiting forever for this series to return and I'd pretty much given up hope.

This is the latest book about Boston private investigator Patrick Kenzie. The previous book in this series was PRAYERS FOR RAIN (1999). That's too long to wait.

As a reader, I appreciate the insight. Thank you for being here! Sunny, this was a terrific topic and one I think many authors would have been hesitant to voice.

As a reader, there have been many times when an author's words have brought back remembrances for me. Carolyn, thanks so much for being my guest and for sharing your memories.

For years I didn't think there was another story, but the characters seemed to want one. Hi Jenny –

In my "humble" opinion, I think the truly arrogant author whose "ego is out of control" was already that way before they became a writer. It is easy to confuse the personality with the product. Isn't it the product that matters? The work. At the end of the day, isn't it all about the wonderful, frustrating, maddening, soul uplifting work? My muse commands that I write. I hope it is good and my product will do me proud long after I am gone. In the meantime, while I am here, it takes guts to put your soul out there and isn't that what every creative person does whether they write, sculpt or perform. As for feeling proud of your accomplishment, as Sister Mary Perpetual Punishment used to say "If you don't blow your own horn no one else will, it's unsanitary."

I felt it was a "bold" post, but then I'm not one for bland ideas and all for poking myself and others for reaction. The idea of a blog is to stir up ideas and get people commenting. This one is already being picked up and making the rounds. So, mission accomplished! Have no idea what kind of thoughts will enter my head next and result in a blog. Don't change the channel, folks!

Is there implicit confidence as Sunny suggests just in committing my words to the page? Maybe. Still, I can't imagine ever strutting toward a mic, or offering up a page with anything but a shaking hand.

Yes, we do have to be forthright and sometimes opinionated in order to get through all the rejections and criticisms but we don't have to be rude to do it. Another word for Audacity comes to mind...Vivacious...it means lively and high-spirited...that's what a writer is, no matter what they write...we must be Vivacious...it is definately contagious..,have a great day!

As one in the humble category, I do find when I write that the censoring voice--will this upset family/friends?--vanishes. In those moments, a confidence, a surety, occurs.
