		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the things I love about the Murder She Writes authors is that the women they write about are strong and self sufficient. I&#8217;m guess that my own skewed vision of &#8220;the damsel in distress&#8221; may have been irrevocably altered by a lifetime love of James Bond movies. It&#8217;s been over half a century [...]]]></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.

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>
