A good feeling

"Finishing" a book is always a good feeling, but it especially feels good on this one. Because of the nature of this story, I thought the best way to approach it was to write in third and first person. I wasn't sure if it'd work, but going back through it recently, I believe I've pulled it off. I'd said in an earlier post that one of the main characters, Eleanor, was in control of this one, and that never changed. She'd speak to me sometimes when I was at work and I knew by the time I got home, I'd be writing long into the night. Other times, when I wanted to write, she was silent, playing hard to get.

It's a romance. Actually two romances wrapped into one book. I love writing the Playing for First series because I love baseball. But this one's touched my heart. I hope it touches readers in the same way.
