Prolific Writer!

Posted Dec 22 2011

With the death of Kim Jong Il, my Christmas shopping list has become shorter.  But as a writer, I have to admit I’m disappointed he’ll no longer be around since I’d hoped to ask him how he wrote 1,500 books in three years.  What could his secret be?  Perhaps it’s because he never had to take potty breaks […]

  Barbara
I LOVED getaway with Murder. The second book can't be published soon enough. Can you write any faster? ;-)
