What can I say, my goal was to be authentic to how the characters would speak. After the brief lecture she told me she read on in spite of them and ended up really enjoying Patches of Grey, and nobody is more brutally honest than my grandmother. :-)Roy Pickeringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018762916459983700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6603374637711904147.post-35061439796121640822010-05-29T23:42:26.383+02:002010-05-29T23:42:26.383+02:00Great interview, again, Dorothy! Roy's books ...Great interview, again, Dorothy! Roy's books sound intriguing. I love literary fiction. I think Patches is something I'd pick up, but I gotta admit, I'm a little hesitant because he mentioned the language is harsher than YA. I like to think of myself not as a prude but a sensitive soul. Maybe it's because I didn't grow up in New Jersey? Still, I wish you the best of luck, Roy!Shellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03068094486297918345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6603374637711904147.post-42734183473632720892010-05-28T18:02:51.419+02:002010-05-28T18:02:51.419+02:00Thanks, Gina!

I've got some great ones coming up next week as well.

The bits of autobiographical-ness (okay, so I made the word up) that slipped into the story...I think that happens one way or another in most books. I mean people write what they know...even if it seems obscure it's bound to have some real life tie. Good luck on getting the word out their on your current book! The interview will definitely help...speaking of which...<br />Another job well done, Dorothy! Oh, and I love the bonus feature. Gives them an on the spot sort of challenge to flex their creative muscles.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067420839553243250noreply@blogger.com
