Do you remember in Season Three of Friends, when Rachel discovered Joey's copy of The Shining in the freezer? Joey put his books in the freezer because he found them too scary to read. I always smile because he ended up putting Little Women in the freezer, because he could tell that Beth was going to die
The Branded Rose Prophecy is my longest book ever written. It comes in at 236,000 words. That’s long for anyone. It is nearly 4½ standard books packed together. I had a blast writing it, but it took me nearly a year, and I got very little else written that year. Still, it is one of
