I am a pantser - read my stories





When you are reading a book, you will wonder how the story develops. Did the author know from the start how the story will look alike?

Two types of authors who writing stories:

Plotters - they know how the will story looks from the start to the end

Pantsers - they are spontaneous and have ideas, but they don't know how will story develop and what will be the end



I am the second type. Writing a new book for next year, I have 6.500 words and shaped characters, but I don't know many things. I don't know the end, what will be the plot, or whether will there be new characters and surprises are possible.

I am walking on the street and suddenly new ideas come to my mind, and then I am writing a draft, a reminder of what I will write next.

It happens I am deleting some sentences when I see a logical error, and some things are not matching. Sometimes I am in a trap, there is a void in my story. When the bulb turns on, I know how to get out of it. 

All my books are written in this way. 



What is common to my stories:

I love stories on a real basis. I don't have fairies, vampires, or monsters.

I love erotic scenes. It gave passion to the book.

I love adrenaline. The slow-burning story is not for me.

My characters are women with strong attitudes, villains, and people from the margins of society.

My place of action is usually an exotic location.

Someone dies. I focus on motives, to justify the death of my character. 

A fatal woman keeps the story dynamic. The seductress, rebellious woman, black sheep.

The book based on true events

  A paperback version is on Amazon.  Genre: Contemporary romance, young adult short novel Place of action: Croatia Alert : based on true story The blurb:   Valentina lives in a small town. The priorities for women are to get marry in twenties.  Fighting with prejudices, Valentina has an open relationship with a local hooligan. The love story will develop in a wrong direction. Valentina will learn important life lessons. The review: Clear, sharp, legible, written in Kristina's recognizable style. An interesting, powerful, instructive story - when an intelligent woman falls in love with a bad man. This is a real-life story that happens to many women. The story shows that intelligent women and common sense are not immune to falling in love with bad men and the thought that they can change them. A love story that is not really a romantic story. Love is one-sided. Love is stronger than reason, but until a moment when everything has changed. Purchase link:  Seduced by...

Swapping books - a devil's deal

  "I will read your book if you read and review mine." This is an example of author's deal when it comes time for reviews. Reviews is hard to get. If you sell books, it is still not guarantee you will get reviews. If I could get a review for every book I sold, it would be great. People will buy book to collect it on the shelves and leave it un-read. Or, they will read but not rate it. Many reasons are for not getting reviews, but some people don't know where and how to write reviews or are not eligible. That is the reason why authors will turn to other authors, with a proposition for review. The danger of such review is on Amazon rules: author can't review other's author books on request. I love to read indie authors and they inspire me, but I have my circle and I never accept offers to read someone I never heard about. Once I got a proposition :" Hey, I saw your review for XX author, can you write it for me, too?" I ignored it. When you have a deal ...
