Hi, Keziah,
Thanks for posting. I’m pleased to hear that the MASTERMINDS series is making such a hit with you. I hope you’ll enjoy PAYBACK too, and then go on to read more of the books on my long list — 90 titles so far, and more on the way.
Writing tips: Read a lot, and write a lot. Practice really does make you better at your craft. And never put down a single word until your story is well-planned. You can’t say anything well unless you know exactly what you’re trying to say. And you can’t know that unless you plan.
Most authors don’t require what you call “inspiration,” Keziah. We write because we have something to say. It’s really as simple as that.
And PAYBACK will probably be the closer for the MASTERMINDS series. I didn’t write an epilogue, but I think you’ll find a lot of loose ends tied up at the end. And the door is open for another book if there’s a demand for it.
OK? Thanks again for writing. If there’s anything else, you know how to reach me — right here on the website.
Best regards,
