All fiction starts from something real and true and then is distorted into the story the author wants to portray. I have to say though that mysteries and romances, especially the more contemporary have a place in the 'good' book catagory too if they help the reader escape. Sometimes people read to get a break from truth.<br />Thanks for letting me know about your blog via twitter.<br />Kristin Callender <br />aka @noveltweetsKristin Callenderhttp://kcsbooks.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
