I love the sound of words, the feel of them, the flow of them. I love the challenge of finding just that perfect combination of words to describe a curl of the lip, a tilt of the chin, a change in the atmosphere. Done well, novel-writing can combine lyricism with practicality in a way that makes one think of grand tapestries, both functional and beautiful. Fifty years from now, I imagine I’ll still be questing after just that right combination of words. . Lauren Willig

'I love the sound of words, the feel of them, the flow of them. I love the challenge of finding just that perfect combination of words to describe a curl of the lip, a tilt of the chin, a change in the atmosphere.' The book that we write is not just about telling a story. It's also about what it feels like to write and how we can share our passion for writing with others. We want to take the reader on a journey and help them feel as if they were part of our story.

We often think about the characters we create and how they would react in certain situations. We imagine their joys and their pain and what they would do to overcome those struggles.
