I'm OK with happily ever after OR happy for now. And I love humor (something you get in spades in SHAFTED.)<br /><br />To me, writers write Anything: letters, blogs, recipes. Authors write Books!<br /><br />Thank you Kymber for an excellent read.

I love a book that can keep me guessing til the end. Of course a hero to die for is essential! Oh, and I like what Alyssa said about the difference between an author and a writer. To me the difference is a level of committment.<br /><br />Great interview and I look forward to reading more of Kymber's books!

I like to squirm, so give me danger, drama, love, thrills, inappropriate humour, if possible all in one. If not, then please just make me cry.<br /><br />I agree with Alyssa that authors are published writers. It's "published" that is in question. Can that include self-published? I say, why not? If someone's buying and reading you, how can you NOT be considered a published author?<br /><br />I have had the good fortune to know Kymber since 1977 (yes, my friend, that long). So don't give me the free book - it might look bad! :)Julie Fraynhttp://juliebird.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665081061335208089.post-67113957042204439882012-05-04T11:43:59.690-06:002012-05-04T11:43:59.690-06:00I love stories with strong characters, whether I l...I love stories with strong characters, whether I love them or hate them. The story needs to be able to stick in my mind after I finish the book in order for me to consider it a 'great read'. <br /><br />As for authors vs writers, the former I think are those writers who are pursuing publication (in whatever form- digital, print, trad/indie, etc.) and writers are those who are not at that stage.<br /><br />Also, I had the good fortune to read and edit Kymber's book SHAFTED, and I thought it fantastic!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
