The place to ask your writer questions!! I'm under deadline right now, but I get quite a few questions here on @wattpad via my inbox, and many of the questions are very similar, so we're going to try this for a month and see how it goes. The one question I cannot answer, because again, I'm under deadline, is 'will you read my work'. I'll be taking questions until Wednesday--just post them in the comments--and then, next Friday, I'll post your answers in a new 'chapter'. Each week you can post questions either here or in the new chapter and I'll do my best to answer as many as possible. My one caveat is that while I have many years experience as a writer and in publishing, I do not know everything and my word is not gospel. It's just my word, my thoughts and/or opinions.

Haunted by partial memories, conflicted over her feelings for Dent, but determined to learn the truth, she won't stop until she reveals Susan's killer. That is, unless Susan's killer strikes her first...
