Re: Silver Serenade (11:24am October 15, 2010):

I should also add that the tone of Silver's story is very different from my humorous Bad Hair Day mysteries featuring hairdresser Marla Shore. Those are cozy mysteries, meaning no graphic sex or violence.

Re: Silver Serenade (11:20am October 15, 2010):

You've reminded me that it's important to show your villain having a soft side in one way, like he loves his pet or is protective of his little sister. Or he craves dark chocolate, something that humanizes him. Tyrone Bluth, though, doesn't have too many redeeming factors. He's just a bloodthirsty pirate.

You're right, Vickie. A good villain believes his actions are justified.
