1: Head Above Water by Nora Fares I know most writers here are like me. We write for a hobby and hope it brings some feeling to the readers.
Nora is different and very special. She weaves words together that make you feel the characters. Her dialogue flows and feels natural. The best part, the character's personalities shine through in the natural rapport she creates. Discussions aren't saccharine, but they are authentic and the power of the words exchanged speaks to your soul. I want to be one of her characters just so I can feel the intensity of relationships the way she builds them.
6: The Art of Anonymity by Fenella Ashworth I've read a number of Fenella's stories and she always comes through with some great characters and storylines.
