A Word from R. A. Rock

When I was in grade two, my well-meaning teacher told me that I overused the word nice in my writing.  As you can imagine, my younger self was both irritated and insulted.  Somehow my eight-year-old brain thought that nice was the perfect adjective to describe… well, just about everything, I suppose.  And anyways who was she to tell me how to write?  If I wanted to use the word nice, I was darn well going to use it.

Fast-forward thirty-three years and my stories are anything but nice, perhaps in reaction to that very first criticism.  I like to write about what people do when terrible things occur.  Hm.  What would these characters do if the worst thing they can possibly imagine… happened?  Let’s put them in that situation and see.  I love magic and mystery, action and adventure, fight scenes, and sweet moments, too.  And I’m all about taking the reader along for the ride.  So, I hope you’ll come along on this magical adventure.  I can’t wait to see where it leads!  (I hope it’s someplace nice.)
