It does seem to be what many romantic authors do nowadays. It's especially interesting that so many are working in multiple genres. Marie's work sounds great and several of her books are on my TBR list.

So here's Linn's comments:<br /><br /><br />I think an experienced writer can probably handle multiple projects much easier than a newbie like myself. Also depends on how you work I would think, I don't plan a story so keep a 'chapter synopsis' as I write, so that I can keep a track of what is happening, things I need to link or develop etc. Having a project like the Fatal series must be a dream come true and only happens to writers who have a special gift! What I'm really wondering is how do you find the time to juggle everything?<br /><br />Kind regards and I am enjoying your posts.<br /><br />LinnMason Canyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10935307400882363560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-6737971304907248452011-02-04T08:33:22.367-05:002011-02-04T08:33:22.367-05:00now who wouldn't love that hero from that book...now who wouldn't love that hero from that book cover? :)DEZMONDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127166104359407763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-69156653187742791782011-02-04T08:31:56.651-05:002011-02-04T08:31:56.651-05:00I'll work on two projects at once, but not whe...I'll work on two projects at once, but not when they're both in the initial creating stage.
