I'm rereading to see how she managed the first one in the series. Frankly, I think she writes better than Kathy Reich, at least in a head to head competition of firsts in a series.<BR/><BR/>Sue intermingles verb tense like crazy, but it works! She writes 1st person, so that may have something to do with it. Kinsey is a strong character. The first book, A is for Alibi, is setting up her environment, her friends, and her job, as well as her character. <BR/><BR/>Would you guys agree she's not bad at POV?<BR/>JanW - who found out today she's been shortlisted for Amazon's contest! Whoo-hoo!<BR/>http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00121WDVAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-32376154573963988222008-01-15T13:48:00.000-06:002008-01-15T13:48:00.000-06:00Patricia, yes, I think books written completely in...Patricia, yes, I think books written completely in Deep POV tend to get claustrophobic, forcing the reader to spend 400 pages enclosed in a bathroom listening to one person talk and talk and talk.... :) Most authors slide into deep POV in deeply emotional moments or during intense action, and use a more distant POV for most of the narrative.<BR/><BR/>There are no rules, only tools. :)<BR/><BR/>AliciaEdittorrenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14295505709568570553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-16598726100712811872008-01-15T12:44:00.000-06:002008-01-15T12:44:00.000-06:00I can't think of one off the top of my head becaus...I can't think of one off the top of my head because I'm finding more and more that authors tend to jump in and out.<BR/><BR/>Camy Tang is doing a blog series on writing deep POV.

I'm thinking of Tara Taylor Quinn and Anne Stuart.

I remember listening to a National workshop by Suzanne Brockmann on deep POV, so I'd guess she would be a good one.Edie Ramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17084144940233965447noreply@blogger.com
