Читать книгу Swerve - Michelle McGriff - Страница 5

Writing is an action word. As writers, we should be constantly moving, advancing, growing. As a growing writer, stretching is what we do best. We reach out past comfort zones and commercial norms to find new and exciting stories to deliver to readers. In doing that, we only hope that our readers are ready to receive, what we feel, is a gift to them.

Swerve is such a gift. It’s new and fresh and hopefully leading to a new turn in my writing. Throwing together my love of edgy romance (meaning: on the edge of not being romantic, haha) with a little suspense, I have now added a bit more “outside the norm” topics. I am by no means crossing into the paranormal genre with the story. I would say that it’s closer to fantasy or sci–fi. Yet, it’s got a realistic story line with characters who show up from my previous works. This story again attempts to answer my ongoing writing question: “What if?”

In order to see this story to completion, I again called on my friends for support, and I would like to thank them here. I would like to thank national bestselling author Shelia M. Goss for always being there for support and sisterly love. It’s your insomnia that has kept me going strong, even across the time zones. To new author Jennifer Coissiere, for sharing her excitement over the process with me. It’s new writers like this who keep me reminded of why I’m doing this. It’s for the love.

Speaking of love, I want to always thank those I love: my friends, my family, and the one man who is all that rolled up into one. He is my muse, my counterpart, and the smile I wear each day. I’d say he’s what keeps me writing but that wouldn’t be true. Maxine Thompson keeps me writing. Thank you for cracking the whip! Thank you, Carl Weber, for publishing my books; I hope you continue to grow as a company so that we can continue to grow our audience. Thank you, Natalie Weber, for your choice in editors; my books never looked and read so good.

Thank you all. Now, please, enjoy this story, and don’t forget to let me know what you think.
