Need Your Help

I’m trying to come up with a better title for my sequel to (W)hole. I love that title so much and I’ve painted myself into a corner because I can’t find something to match it! I want to do something with the same touch of word play, but that might be a lost cause. Right now the working title is Accept/Except, but I think that’s too clunky.  Maybe just “Accept”?  That sounds too much like a command, though. The plot is very focused on Elizabeth’s relationship with her parents and how they hold her back while she tries to explore her devness and understand herself better.

Interview: Robyn Bradley

Interview: Robyn Bradley

Robyn Bradley is the author of  Support Our Troops – A Short Story , just 99 cents for Kindle.  So far all the reviews are five stars, so I’m not the only one who thinks it’s quite good.  The characters are strong and well drawn, the dialogue is crisp and engaging.  The story drew me in immediately.  The only problem with it is it’s very short!  Definitely leaves you wanting more.  And luckily, more is on the way. Before I get to the interview, here is the description of the book from Amazon:  When Koty’s husband volunteers her to visit Jamie, a quadruple amputee who lost his limbs while serving in Iraq, neither Koty nor Jamie is happy. Jamie resents being “babysat” every day. Koty resents her lot in life: almost 30,...
