		<description><![CDATA[On Tuesday, I got an email that many writer&#8217;s dread. The copy department wants a synopsis. This is particularly dire when you, the author, DID actually send in a (very) brief synopsis weeks ago. They want more. This doesn&#8217;t surprise me because I only sent them one long paragraph that I wrote as if it [...]]]></description>

It’s not just because I’m watching Timothy Olyphant. Though, he is nice on the eyes. Talented actors; brilliant writing; pitch-perfect pacing. Justified is about excellence. I don’t say that lightly. In fact, I’m [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The last few months have been particularly difficult for me as a writer. The Doubt Demons invaded. Self-doubt is rooted in fear, and an author’s worst enemy. I’ve always been critical of my writing, I’ve always been afraid that what I’m writing isn’t good enough, that I’ll never get better, but I never doubted that [...]]]></description>

(It&#8217;s 8 a.m. in California, where I live, but here at MSW we endeavor to schedule our blog to post between midnight and 6 a.m. ET, so I&#8217;m late.) Being late is the story of my life.

My last Ballantine book, IF I SHOULD DIE, was released two weeks ago and is still available (or should be!) wherever books are sold.

		<description><![CDATA[I love Thanksgiving, not just because calories don&#8217;t count this one day of the year, but because it&#8217;s the day we reflect on how we&#8217;re blessed. Sometimes, it&#8217;s so easy to complain about the bad things that happen to us, or mourn losses both devastating and small, but on Thanksgiving we can focus on the [...]]]></description>
