Checking the status of her family’s well-being and evaluating world news, while sipping a cup of rooibos tea, is Cara Crenston’s favored way to start the day. When she explores a recent gallery exhibit, featuring striking ceramics, a professional interest, her attention piques. Scrolling down to view the contact information, she is faced with the picture of a charming French man who fascinates and inspires her. His striking art choices spur her to revisit her own ceramic art with the intention of submitting to his art gallery. The creative process slows down a bit when her favorite interior designer and best friend commissions her with a new project that forces her to continuously cross professional paths with a frightening smugglers ring. Things get particularly tense after she realizes that her son’s boss handles said company’s illicit investments. When her daughter gets a grant to film in Paris and her lead actress is involved with the same organization, things get downright sinister.

Sometimes in life we feel the burning need to tackle something out of our lane. After all, no one is one dimensional these days. We all spread our wings in the hopes of landing somewhere new and life changing. Call it a creative impulse or an idea explosion that needs to be brought to fuition, or maybe it’s a strike off the ole bucket list, but whatever the impetus, the urge deserves to be explored. Where does this feeling come from, you ask? Who knows? Who can explain why we do anything?

What I know for sure is writing comes from a love of reading, a need to express thoughts and a desire to share. Let me share my novel with you, The Rogue Tangerine Tablet. So….if you like suspense, an international venue, the creative arts, an eclectic mix of characters, a little gore and maybe a touch of romance thrown in, you might like this read. There is plenty of naughty and just enough nice, not to mention, a whole lot of spice in this tangled plot, ……..….arriving just in time for the Christmas holiday. Happy Reading! Let me know what you think.

What is good fiction? A book that sits on the New York Best Seller List? A sensual love story? A thriller and page turner? A story that opens your eyes to the needs or plights of others? A chronicled heartfelt, relatable life event? An informational cultural experience or an adventurous travel story? A mythical memoir? A historically accurate novel? Or is it total fantasy? A good book is defined so differently by its readers, one wonders what people take away from the same experience. I guess that is partially why we share thoughts in book clubs. Everyone focuses on different elements in the material they cover or perhaps they just see the same material differently. And then there is the question of style….while some are simply satisfied with one major plot twist, engaging a character or two, others thrive on a sequence of twisted plot turns, involving numerous distinguishable characters whose lives stumble and turn, or weave webs of deceit and drama.

I have known impatient readers that just want dialogue with the least amount of descriptions or backgrounds so they can glide from one point to the next without delay. They even skip the lines they deem unnecessary.The other side of the coin are readers who want to know every little detail, soaking it up like a puddle on red clay. They need to engage their five senses to really connect. Immersing themselves in the descriptions and settings is their way of bonding to the characters. They “feel” the story as opposed to looking in and judging from the outside.

I have come to the realization that there is plenty of room for a plethora of unorthodox writing styles and takes on narratives. (Think Miranda July, Daniel Silva or JK Rowland.) The authors I personally enjoy reading run the gamut from mainstream to totally out there, but there is one aspect they all have in common; they each have a unique voice, a signature style.

In the end, we, the readers, may see things slightly differently and take what we personally need from the material, but hopefully we glean a positive experience, a pleasure the author intended us to have. There is no doubt that reading broadens horizons and makes us circumspect. It also gives us a zest for life. Losing an afternoon in a good book is time well spent. So, in short, a good book is whatever floats your boat.

On that note, let me introduce my debut novel, The Rogue Tangerine Tablet.
