Authors tell me a new writer learns much from reading books in their chosen genre. I'm convinced that's true. DiAnn Mills has a new release this month called "Breach of Trust," which helps me in characterization with duel roles for the main character. She weaves heightened conflict throughout memorable characters' lives.
DiAnn teaches fiction mentoring workshops. If you ever have a chance to attend one, be sure to take advantage. For now, read her latest book.
An expert in characterization, DiAnn brings to life an ex-CIA operative who small town Oklahoma residents know as sweet librarian Paige Rogers. Read DiAnn's dialogue, study her sections of internal thought. Though a reader knows Paige's past, he still gets lost in the realism of her cover. Daniel Keary lives as a believable villian with a weak spot for kids. As a mother myself to a man who's a football/baseball coach, I can tell you DiAnn captures the world of a small-town football coach in Miles Laird and also that of a dreamy hero.
I highly recommend this book for fun, and for learning. It's available now in most book stores or on Amazon.
Hi Janet,
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like an excellent book. I'll have to check it out. DiAnn is a fantastic author. I love her books! How neat that she's your mentor.
I can't wait to get the book. I'm glad you reminded me that it is out. You're right about DiAnn's class. I learned so much when I went. Anyone could learned a lot from attending one of them.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fantastic book!
