“How to Write the First 3 Paragraphs of YOUR Indie Novel” - by Max Waxwelp
1) Always write 3 sentences of exposition; 2) now create some dialogue, preferably no more than 2 sentences; and 3) make certain the dialogue is either inane or humorous. Example:
“Bob, I did not know you wore yellow suspenders,” Sally remarked.
“Gee, Sally, those are not suspenders. I am wearing yellow underwear today,” Bob revealed.
The dialogue above will help produce at least 100 more pages of dialogue.

If they didn't mention Hurricane Sandy on the web page it wouldn't be at all obvious which nation was being referred to. There are more countries in the world (and using this forum) than the USA you know.

My library has The Round House in its Overdrive collection. I put a hold on it, I have enjoyed her work in the past. I haven't looked for the others.

Thanks for the post, The Round House looks intriguing.
